Mom, Jon, Bri, Uncle Bob, Aunt Tami, Lexi, Dominic, Uncle Bruce, Aunt Sue, Sam, & K:

Through this VERY difficult time, there's a few things we should all keep in mind. First and foremost, Gramma was the base of our family. She tought each of us that no matter what happens, through the good and especially through the bad, we are to turn to one another and somehow, some way things will always turn out ok.

Gramma loved each and every one of us in her own special way. If we were to look up the meaning of unconditional love, a photo of Gramma may appear to show an example of a woman that truely knew how to love unconditionally. She always tried her hardest to persuade us to make the right decisions but even when we chose the wrong way, she would "CROWN" us and move past our faults instantly. She never turned her back on any of us.

Gramma left impressions on our hearts that can never be taken away. We are all fortunate enough to carry her ways, her words, her thoughts, her memories and most importantly her strength with us within our hearts, each and everyday. With that, we have to see and realize and understand the gifts she has left us with, they are eternal. We have to see that just because she is not with us physically day-to-day, SHE IS WITH US and we all know leaving us would NEVER EVER be a consideration to Gramma.

Gramma lived each day for us and lived it to the fullest. She has made us happy for a long, long time. Its her turn now but just remember whenever we need her, whenver we want her with us, all we have to do is close our eyes and I promise Gramma will be there.

I love you all and we will get through this together. Until it's our time to be with Gramma again, I think I speak for all of us when I say "So long Gramma, never goodbye because that's forever". We love you and will never stop missing you.

Love-Danielle

Bob, Bruce, Karen,
Please accept my most sincere condolences during this difficult time. I always admired your mother and gained inspiration from her. If anyone was a second mother to me when I was young, it was Mrs. J. Didn't I spend about as much time on View St. as I did on Oak St. in those days? Your mom was truly a special lady. You and your family members are all in my prayers.

Dearest Karen, Bobby, Bruce and family. Our families were so close at one time, all the memories we share. Vacationing in Rhode Island, birthdays, holidays, I could go on forever. Our moms could sit at the kitchen table on View St. and talk for hours. I miss those days and all of you. My heart goes out to all of you at this most difficult time. Always, Manya
