I am writing this letter in my Aunt Lucy's guest book, because I loved her very much and I will miss her deeply. I can still hear your sweet voice on the telephone, I will miss very much, our conversations on the telephone, and without a doubt, you are the best aunt, I could ever have had. I could not have hand picked a sweeter, more thoughtful, considerate and kinder aunt, you will be missed dearly, not just by me, but by everyone who was fortunate enough to have known you. I am so very grateful that I was able to spend 6 months getting to know you, a couple of years ago, when I came for a visit from Wisconsin to visit with my family in Meriden, Ct. The very first time that I saw you, waiting by the curb for us to pick you up for the first time, when your brother, Henry, rode in my car and he showed me where you lived, I knew the very first second that I saw you, that I would love you very much. I know in my heart and soul that you are with God and all of your loved ones who passed away before you. My dear Aunt Lucy, there is a big empty space in my heart, but knowing that you are happy in Heaven, is the only comforting thought I have, that makes it easier for me to accept that you are gone. I look forward to seeing you again in Heaven, when God calls me home, to be with Him and all of my loved ones who have died before me. With much love, your niece, Ann Cunningham

Mom,
I can't believe you're not here with us any longer. I miss you and love you dearly. You were a strong woman and someone we all could always depend on. You were a prayerful mother, praying the rosary, novena's and watching daily mass. God knew you were coming home to Him and allowed me 2 wonderful weeks with you for Thanksgiving. Whenever I play "Little Dorothy" I will always be playing it for you. "I will always love you..
whether we're together or apart...
Love you forever, and forever, love you will all my heart."
See you in heaven some day.
Love you,
daughter Dorothy

Gram I will miss you! You were the best grandmother I could have asked for and I'm glad we were such close friends. I will especially miss your lasagna and pierogies and playing kings in the corner with you! Whenever I watch Gone With The Wind I will think of you! I love you!
