Mary Alice,

I just wanted to ask you to watch over my daughter-in-law, (your granddaughter) Wendy. I read her entry just below, and I feel her pain. It was so sincere it made me cry.

I pray God will give her strength in knowing you are still with her always. May she feel your presence within her own special memories that you each shared together. Whether they were good times or tearful times, the most precious ones, will be treasured and be kept alive in her heart forever.

I believe you have been reborn; not of this world as we know it but your spirit lives on. It has only left this earth and returned safely home to be with God in Heaven. Look in on her from time to time, she really needs to feel your love. Rest in peace.

Today is April 17th one year to the date of your passing. It is just as hard now to deal with the pain of losing you. I'm sure you are up there now with Nagla looking over everyone. I'm glad you have someone else to be with. I will miss her too.

I love you Grandma and I miss you very,very much. There is not a day I don't think about you. I am very glad that we did get to spend the time we did while you were in the hospital, although it was not the best place, I feel that I was able to tell you one more time that I love you. Even though you knew that already. Thank you for being a wonderful grandmother and person. You had a wonderful heart.

Thank god I have David and the girls because sometimes the pain of losing you is unbareable. I just wish I could call you and hear your voice once and a while. I miss our little talks. I miss your hugs and kisses and most of all I miss your love and smiles.

I love you Grandma..

Hi Grandma,

I just wanted say how much I miss you and I have been thinking about you alot. I went to see Grandpa this weekend, he is doing as well as expected. It is almost a year now I feel like it was just yesterday that I spoke with you on the phone. I can still hear your voice in my head. I cry everytime I think of you. I love you, I feel like I can never say that enough.

Dear Grandma,

I just wanted to let you know that there is not a day that goes by that I don't think of you. I miss you so much. Yesterday was Sept.21st, it would of been another happy year married to grandpa. You were on my mind the whole day. I cannot even express how I feel everytime I think of you being gone. I try to stay strong but it is very hard for me. I know grandpa needs family and love. I will try harder to be there for him.

I love you,

Wendy Feci (grand daughter)

My wife and I got to know Mary through my brother and sister-in-law, David and Wendy. She was always very friendly and sweet. My wife and I pray for David and Wendy, Caitlin and Jaina, and for Wendy's family and family friends during this difficult time. Our prayers especially go out to Martin.

I have only known Mary Alice for eight short years. Our families were joined together through the union of marriage of my son, David Feci to Mary Alice's granddaughter, Wendy (Moon) Feci. I envy the love her family has for her. At her rosary, the family talked with so much love and fond memories of this remarkable woman. I hope to be that kind of Grandma to my grandchildren . Mary Alice, you are my mentor. I will remember you best by your smile and you always had a kind word as you greeted me. I know your family will miss you and so will I. As hard as it is for your loved ones to say good bye; I believe you are the kind of person that will give each one of them a little nudge to let them know you still care for them. The love Mary Alice had for her family does not die, not even in her death, it has no barriers. For all that read this - Mary Alice will be with you ALWAYS! She will live within your hearts. Listen very carefuly. She will let you know when she is near. You will be able to feel her presence in your own special memories; you each shared with her. Beleive, Mary Alice has been reborn, not of this world as we know it. Her spirit has only left this earth and returned safely home to be with God in HEAVEN. REST IN PEACE.

Dear Grandma,

This is one of the hardest things that I have to do"say goodbye" you have been such a major figure in my life. I feel a special bond with you that can't be explained. Thank you for being there when there was no one else. Thank you for teaching me to be a caring and loving person. There was times that just being there with you or just briefly talking on the phone that you eased any bad feelings. I remember all the times you would take me shopping & we would end up with ice cream. All the times you would say we'd have to wait to go swimming after our meals & we would sneak out a little early and you would join us. I remember helping clean your curio cabinet & breaking something- I know you were upset but you told me "its ok" Everything was always ok... We joked alot but we were always there and knew what to say to one another. I will always remember- the cookies, bread pudding& baked apples. I hope that I can be a wonderful grandmother like you...I just want this all to be a bad dream & I just want to talk to my Grandma again...I will always remember your smile & your " I love you baby" I will miss you very much...Wendy
