Hi my Grammy.
In a few days it will be 15 years since you´ve left us. I have officially had to live without you for as long as I had you. I never thought after that much time the hole you left in my heart with your absence still remains. But this year you sent me another angel, a baby girl. We named her Gracelyn Nancy. She is surely all of your Grace. I hear her in her crib sometimes cooing and smiling, I know you´re there. I know she knows you.
I miss you. More than I think I ever have. More than I thought possible.
Thank you for being the best thing I could have ever been blessed with. You and pop have blessed me in so many ways and I feel like the luckiest girl in the world. But I already knew I was because I had you as grandparents.
I love you. I miss you.

Grammy,
I received an email from this guestbook company today reminding me it´s been 13 years. 13 years since I´ve been able to call, touch or hug you. I swear sometimes it feels like you were just here yesterday. At the same time it feels like it´s been an eternity since I´ve heard your voice. So many wonderful things have happened in the last 13 years. So many happy times that I wish you were here to share with me. I´ve welcomed two of your great-grandsons into the world. Logan and Mason are everything I could have hoped for and more. Things are not always perfect but I work hard every day to lead by your example in being a great mother to my boys. I know you would just adore them. But I have a feeling you´ve met them before I did. Thank you for watching over us everyday and sending all the blessings that you have over the years. I pray, and I know you hear me.
I hope you know even after all this time your memory surrounds me. I think about you so often. You were my role model, my biggest inspiration and motivation and the most impactful person I have had in my life. I am so sad every day that I don´t have you anymore. But after 13 years I am so SO grateful for the time I did have with you and the memories we created. I dont think I´ve met anyone who has made me feel as loved, with zero judgement and unconditional compassion as you had given me. I love you and one day, when my time has come, I cannot wait to see you standing there with open arms waiting to greet me. I can´t wait to feel your warmth and love again. Thank you for everything.

Mommy,
It's been over a year now since you've been gone and it hasn't gotten any easier. I miss you more tonight than ever. But I know you are close because I feel your presence surrounding me in everything I do. Sometimes at night when I open my eyes, I picture you sitting on that chair in my room, smiling and telling me stories from your childhood. I know someday, I too will have beautiful stories to tell my children, of how dear you and Dad were to me. Thank you Mommy, for all the time you spent with me - teaching me, loving me, nurturing me, guiding me, listening to me, laughing with me, crying with me and praying with me. I love you Mommy.

i think i am the only one up right now gram. Its about midnight and i cant sleep. its been about seven months since you left us. i think about you everyday. i went into the doll room the other day and just sat there looking out of the window at the moon like we used to do when i was little. i miss you so much. i dont cry as often as i did in the beginning. i wanted to write to you tonight because nothing is going how i know you wanted it. Nobody can get along like you, and i, had hoped. this house means so much to me grammy. i love that every room i enter holds an amazing memory of our time together. as i hold my tears back right now, i cant help but think of all the times you told me this house was going to always be here and you didnt want some new family living here as i drove down the street. i need you grammy. i will never stop needing you. i cant give you a big hug anymore. i wish you were with me right now. i get my drivers license in 3 days! Its funny, i always thought you would be here when i drive and call me up when you were done at the hair dressers, like you did to my dad! i love you grammy, with all my heart. I cant wait to see you again.
Love, Antoinette (Dolly)

Hi there Aunt Nancy, I just wanted to tell you how much I miss and LOVE you. Bill celebrated his 40th birthday this week end and we wish you would've been there , well I know you were in thought.He loves you just as much as we do.But the reason I was writting is to tell you that the kids had an awesome time hanging out after wards at YOUR HOUSE !!! Amanda didn't go I think she has a hard time being there without you there. But Lindsay had said to her why aren't you going and she said i dunno. Lindsay jokingly replied well you weren't invited anyways. Then I said she doesn't need to be invited cause Aunt Nancy gave her a invite for internity!!! I promised you before you left that we would always go to your house and hang out and get together.Wish we did it more I miss Nancy even though I see her quite a bit. I know you see what goes on down here and I'm sure you're not happy with everything but we're trying to keep good vibes with everyone inspite of everything. I wish you were here to give me some advice on my love life cause it's just falling apart right now.Aunt Nancy we love you and miss you dearly.

HI Grammy!
Aunt Nancy asked me what i wanted special for dinner this sunday. I, without hesitation, told her chicken marsala! as she was cooking it,it brought back so many memories. the whole house smelled. i was thinking of how when you made sauce it would make anyone who entered the house mouths to water! its sad to walk into the kitchen and not see you in your seat mixing cookies or rolling meatballs.I miss you so much. i hope i am making you proud. I am trying so hard in school and trying to be a good person. Just like you taught me to do. You always told me to be strong and no matter what, have faith in God. I do grammy. i love you so much and i know someday i will see you again. But right now i am trying to be strong and enjoy the life that i was given like you told me. i know i get side tracked sometimes and get off the track a little, but your memory and your love that still, to this day surrounds me, helps me realize the person i want to be. I want to honor your name "Antoinette" and the Demaria name too in the biggest way and never put them to shame or ever dissapoint you and Grandpa. i will do my best. I love you! MOre then anyone will ever know. ~ Antoinette "Dolly"

Grammy,
There's not a day that goes by that I don't think about you. It still dosn't even at times feel like your gone but then when I see how the family is any more It hits me that you really are.You truly are what held us all together. I miss you soo much, I know it was better that god take you but I guess I'm selfish when I wish for you back. There's so many things in life you taught me I don't feel like we were done yet. There is so much I've learned from you but yet still so many questions I have, I know one day they will be answered. Thank you Grammy for always being there for me when I needed you. You were always the first person to help n no matter what you always understood.Remember that day when I was really little playing outside n got stung by that whole nest of bees, you were the one to carry me inside n take care of me. I still look back and remember all the times that we spent in the doll room at night looking at the stars and in the morning we would look out and see Pop playing around with the fountain. I miss all the times we spent decorating the house for what ever holiday it was and baking cookies, and all the times we would sit on the balcony playing checkers and laying in the sun. I have faith that someday we will sit together again, untill then I know you n Pop are watching over me every day. Grammy I want you to know your my hero for your whole life there's not a person you met who's heart you didn't touch. Even in death you touch so many lives. There are so many more great memories I have with you and I will never forget them. I miss you n I love you soo much. and I know because of what you taught me that we will some day be together again Grammy..... Love always n forever YOUR LITTLE LENA

i had a really rough nite last nite grammy. i find when im laying in my bed i think about you the most. how we used to look out of the window in the doll room and look at the moon. we would say our prayers together and you would say "kick me when your done." so many songs and pictures remind me of you. I was sitting in the living room listening to the country music channel, like we did alot, and i looked over at your rocking chair. It's just not the same. you werent there to say "sing it Dolly!" and i was thinking about granpa too! making me crush ALL the cans to recycle one by one! oh boy! i miss you both so much, and since you left, i dont think anyone has been the same. but i still look up to you. i know your watching everyone. And i know you hear me when i laugh, cry, and pray. i know this because of everything you taught me! i love you so much!
Leonard Michael DeMaria, your grandson.

hi mom, i am holding your grandson, little mr lenny, just like you called him. he is finally here and he is perfect, just like you said. he looks alot like you and dad. i know you are looking down on us and are so happy for us, we miss you ans wish so much you could be here to hold him and do what you do best- LOVE him. we will tell him all about you, he will know what a great person you were, for sure there will be alot of people telling him that, you did a great job when you were here mom, and now there is another one of us that will carry on your name, God Bless you and Dad and thanks for every thing you did for us.

its so nice to see everything many people have written. Its been about five months now, and i still think of my grammy every day. i find myself thinking when im doing something " how would gram do this?" (lol) My grammy, i love you so much. i hope that you and grandpa are looking down on me and are proud of what i am. my little brother was born late july. little leonard michael. it makes me so sad that he will not have all the wonderful memories i had with my grandparents. but if there is one thing i know, its that he will be told what an amazing grandma he had. i know i will see you some day...... but grammy, thats not soon enough for me. i know you are with me telling me dont cry dolly, its going to be ok. but your NOT here to cheer me up by letting me help you make cookies or playing checkers in the game room. and that is the worst part. i do talk to you everyday. do you hear me? i whisper good nite to you. i kiss your picture and say a prayer. i miss you so much, I LOVE YOU and always will.

I will always remember and treasure your last words to me until the day I die and we meet again. "My Baby Sister, I love you Carmel"

Sorry is not enough to fill the void in your hearts. Know thinking of the memories, and shared secrets will ease your pain. Thankyou for sharing your mother with us. She gave her love to everyone blessed to know her. She, along with her niece Kathy Jo, taught me how to love. She was a true example of what a wife, and mother are.
Above all, her never ending love stood the test of time. Aunt Nancy, thankyou for taking Ashley into your heart when she lost her grandma. We know she is with you, and Uncle Mike having a huge party. Save us a hug,for when we are all together again!

The earth has lost a beautiful soul. Aunt Nancy was such a kind, loving person and so full of joy! My first memories of PA when my mom (Aunt Carmel), my sister Kathy,and I visited were of Aunt Nancy's place. She was always so happy to have visitors and treated us like gold. When I was a teenager and stayed with her during the summer, she would come into the bedroom at night (where I slept with Little Nancy) and hug me and tell me how glad she was that I was there with her. She really did know the meaning of loving people unconditionally and with all her heart. She knew what was important in life, cherishing and loving and caring for all people. She will be missed.
My deepest sympathy to all of her children and grand children.
Love,
Mary Alice

My Grammy,
There is nothing in this world that i appreciate more than the love and support you gave me. Every night when i was little we would sit in the "doll room" and read a book or tell stories of Jesus and the bible and how heaven looks and what it would be like.You always said "I want to be here to see you graduate" and i always got upset and said, "oh Grammy, you will," Little did i know God had other plans for you. I know you are pain free now and are sitting up there with grandpa looking down on me. I only hope that i make you smile! Everything i do, you are on my mind. If i grew up to be HALF the woman you were, would be a huge accomplishement. My dad says i am not only named after you, but i remind him of you all the time. i hope this is true because all i want to do is make you proud of your Dolly. i miss you so much, but i know,because of everything you taught me, that one day we will be together again! i love you soo much Grammy... Love
YOUR Dolly

You are a very special woman who was good to everyone you met. You are loved by so many who had the privilege to meet you. Every thing you thing did was accomplished with so much love and affection. There surely will be no other like you. You are the best mother anyone could ask for. You have been so good to all of us. God bless you for all you have done in this world, you have touched so many that will love and remember you forever. I take comfort in knowing that you are in peace resting with Dad and all of your friends and relatives in that wonderful place. You did a wonderful job here, thank you. Please look down on us and know we love you, we miss you and hope to see you again.

Great Aunt Nancy was the best person i think i have ever met, she always made everyone around her in a room smile. she always had something memorable to say. i will never forget the times i have spent with you. i know we only just started getting close these past few years but i am happy we did. when i came to see you in the hospital you told us this story about the only bad thing you ever did in life was you stole a tomato from your moms garden. Remembering you will forever make me smile. forever. you will truly be missed by everyone who knew you!!

Mommy - I am so incredibly blessed to have had such an amazing person in my life. You were not only my mother, but you were my best friend. You are my inspiration and my strength. You taught me to have faith in God, and to love unconditionally. Thank you for all that you did and all that are you to me. God chose a beautiful day to bring you home, Mommy. As I sat outside on the swing yesterday, the sun was shining down on our entire family. I knew then that God would keep you safe and warm and free from pain. I know I will be with you again some day. But for now, I will enjoy the lifetime of memories you have given me and the everlasting impression you have left on my heart. I love you Mommy.
