Dear Mom,
I am saddened today with such a great loss. You and Dad were so instrumental in making me the person I am today. You both supported and stood by my side my entire life and for that I am grateful. Your lives will live on forever in the people you have touched, especially me. You are now reunited with your husband in heaven, look down on us and smile at the fruits of your labor.
Love Always,

To Frank and Joan Borque,
Sorry to hear of your loss. Miss Lillian lived a long life and is now at peace. She was good friends with my mother many years ago, and we spent good times in the carnival club preparing the floats and going to the meetings, etc. I will keep all of you in my prayers.

Dear Mom,
There are no words to express what is in my heart. You and Pop opened your hearts and arms to me and Carey 25 years ago. You both brought us Joy, Love, and a sense of what "Family" is. I am fortunate and blessed to have been a part of your lives. Thank you for your support and love through these years. Now, you are home at last with Pop and Our Heavenly Father. We will love and honor you all the rest of our days.
All my love,
Terry

To Debbie, Keith and Francis and all of you that I know loved this sweetheart of a woman; I offer you my heartfelt sympathy. I have such good memories of visiting Aunt Lillian and Uncle Francis and always being welcomed with their open loving arms; always concerned of how we were. One awesome couple GOD blessed us all with. My prayers will be with you for the next few days will be tough and y'all will miss them so much. But yes, no doubts, they are reaping their rewards together with our Heavenly Father.

Dear Mom,
We all love you and know that you have gone straight into Dad's arms in heaven. You are now our angel and I know you'll be watching out and caring for all of us as we did you.
My love forever,
Debbie
