Granny, you were the heart of our family and the foundation of my life. From the earliest days, you were an endless source of wisdom and guidance, shaping who I am with your kind words and gentle spirit. You didn´t just teach me life lessons-you showed me how to live with resilience, and love.
Your kitchen was more than a place to prepare meals; it was a sanctuary of warmth and learning. Though you were French, you embraced Italian cooking with love and dedication, mastering it for your husband and for us, so we could stay connected to our culture. Through you, I discovered the magic of cooking-not just the recipes, but the care and intention behind every dish. Some of my fondest memories are of us sitting together, watching cooking shows on TV. Those moments, filled with laughter and inspiration, made me fall in love with the art of cooking even more.
More than that, you instilled in all of us a deep sense of Italian culture and pride. You made sure we understood our heritage and celebrated it with love and joy, passing down traditions that will live on for generations.
Your strength, compassion, and unwavering support have been my guide through life´s challenges, and your laughter and wisdom have lit my path. Even though you are no longer here on Earth, I still feel your presence in everything I do-in the quiet moments of reflection, in the aroma of a favorite dish, and in the values you instilled in me. Your spirit lives on every day, reminding me of your love, your teachings, and the legacy you left behind. You were my inspiration, Granny. In your presence, I felt loved and understood.
Though you are no longer with us, your legacy lives on in every lesson you taught me, every dish I cook, and every act of kindness I strive to share with the world. I will carry your love in my heart always.
Granny. You are deeply missed and will be forever remembered with gratitude and love.

It has now been 5 years since you are gone and my heart still hurts everyday.
I just still don't feel like it was your time to go. It seems like we are all so lost without you.
People say.. Oh it will get better over time, but it will never get better for me. I will always have this feeling of sadness. I miss your hugs and kisses, your wisdom and guidance.
I hope that one day I will have the same impact on my children and grandchildren's lives as you did for us because you were truly a very special person to all of us.

There are no words that can say how much we miss our granny today. If our family was a garden we would be the flowers and granny would be the fertilizer that held us together and her love would be the rain that made us grow.
There is no way you could ask for a better granny she had so much
Love for all of us and there was nothing that she couldn’t do. She wasn’t one of those people that are scared to get their hands dirty.
She taught us all how to be hard workers and stick together as a family and she will forever be remembered deep inside of our hearts. She is in a better place now a place called heaven.
Where she can watch over us now and one day we will be together again but until then her spirit will be with us. I know we are going to miss her and it is going to be hard
But we have to be strong and stick together as a family that is what granny would have wanted.
We all love you down here granny and we miss you but we will never forget you.
I will miss you forever granny.

Granny, I miss and love you so much.
I will never forget the wonderful times we shared together.
When I was a little girl you use to read to me hansel and gretel because I was to scared to fall asleep at your house. You stayed up reading to me until I fell asleep.
You were there to see me get married and helped make my wedding cake which made everything more special to me.
You were truly the best granny anyone could ever ask for.
I Love You.

Granny, I remember visiting you. When I heard you died, I was upset. It's not just me. We all miss you, Granny. I wish I would've visited you more often, so I would have more memories to treasure. May you rest in peace, Granny. Our love for you goes beyond your grave.

Granny,
I can't believe you are really gone. I went from seeing you everyday to never going to see you again and it hurts so bad. I miss you and love you so much granny and im never going to forget you.

Hey Gran,
You weren't my real Granny but you were the only person my other grandma would let me call Granny. You were always sweet to me when I stayed there for a while and you always made me feel like I was one of your own grandchildren even when though I'm not. I didn't know you well as a young child, but I'm glad I got to know you a lot better before I moved. Thanks for everything, from your adopted grandchild.

Andrea, Ms. Barbra and Family,
I can not find the right words to express what I really want to say. I am so sorry for you loss just doesn’t seem like enough.
Until today I did not know Granny’s first name. She was just Granny. She was a very special lady who will be missed by many. I can not imagine anyone not loving her after meeting her. If there is anything I can do for you please let me know….even if it is just a ear to listen to you or somenone to cry to I am here.
Love ya’ll much
Hope

Granny, You were always there for us to give us advise when we needed it or even when we didn't need it. You were someone who didn't ask anyone for anything but when any of us were in need you were there. You were an honest, straight forward person and always stated your opinion whether we liked it or not and I will miss that. We are all so lost right now without you.
You will always be in our hearts and the memories we made together we will cherish forever.
