Tina,
We all hold such fond memories of all our times together which go back to Ron's college days, week-ends at your home and at the lake. Then you welcomed my family and the relationship grew even greater. We will always remember your strength, courage, and how proud you were of your family. But most of all we remember your smile, generosity and laughter. Love, Jim, Deb, Matt and Meaghan Walton

"Aunt Suz" was one of my favorite aunts- even though she wasn't even related to me! Having grown up with Aunt Suz and Uncle Les and my parents being such close friends- they were family to me. Aunt Suz was someone you could always have a great discussion with! Whether it was about a movie, book, or politics! And she was a real competitor in Scrabble too! I will always remember going to her house to play a mean game with Emma and her as we lunched on Italian Sandwiches! I bet she has already started a game of Scrabble up there with my mom! I have so many fun and funny memories of Aunt Suz and Uncle Les, many of them made into stories in our own version of the American Journal each year - which always gave her quite a chuckle! My last memory will always be with me though - her cute smile, blowing kisses and a "Love you dear" as I left her hospital room. I was blessed to have had all the years I did to know her. My thoughts are with all of her family at this time. Love, Cindy

Albertina always had a smile for the nurses at Mercy who cared for her when she would come in to recieve her medications.
She was always interested in our families and if I would be going to Fl. in the winter.
She would tell us about the trips she and her husband took.
The angels will take care of you now.
My sympathy to the family.

God bless you, Tina. You were such a sweet angel to my Mom at Falmouth by the Sea. Your patience, love and cheerful smile will never be forgotten. I'll cherish your little wave and "love you" when I'd leave. Heaven just got another beautiful angel.
God bless your dear family. They were so lucky to have you. Our prayers are with them always.

Gram: I will never forget the day we meet and the first thing you asked me was if I was a Democrat or a Republican. The wide grin on your face and Gramp's dismay when I answered Democrat is something I will always remember.
