My grandmother Jackie is one of the kindest souls anyone could ever meet. She always had a smile on her face, and always had something pleasant to say. She never judged anyone, even if they deserved it. She will be forever in my memory, with her smile.

jackie, you have always been one of my favorite people. a real fighter, never giving up right to the very end.
you were always someone that we could count on either for your infamous crab cakes at whatever get-together or for moral support.
i will always remember "always"going the wrong way off route 9 to pick strawberries at gillespies, bringing me gladiola's when i moved into my new house. and no one before or since can ever make a sloe-gin fizz like you!! you will be sorely missed by many, but i know that you are dancing again and smiling down at us. you are a true hero, and will always be "Queen C--- " to me.
love you forever,
"jaws"

"Mother" has ALWAYS been the GREATEST inspiration in my life. Her kindness-loving ways,great cooking (and having the patient to show me some of her wonderful secrects of this success), and the love for all of her large family (and making me feel part of the family)will always be remembered. She (and "Father")have ALWAYS gone "over and above" for the family she loved. ALL will remember this great sacrifice and follow in her foot-steps in her loving memory.
