Until we meet again, may I hold the warmest memories of you in the palm of my hand.
Rest in peace my dear aunt Lorraine and uncle Bucky- I love you you will be missed.
Aunt Lorraine encouraged me to knit through stress which I don't think I can bear (allegedly, this is how she got through the tougher years with her children haha) and uncle Bucky encouraged me to celebrate life. He was an extremely good man, stubborn and colorful for it, and embraced his family warmheartedly. I wish I'd gotten more time with you both
My dearest condolences to Maureen, Michael, Gary and Joseph, Anthony, and Ryan. All of whom have gone through so much these past few years. I hope the best for all of you and I know that there isn't anything that can makeup the loss of a loved one, but I hope that you find peace in the coming years to soothe the hard times you have all endured so gracefully.
Love you all
