Grandma, I have always loved you. I've missed you terribly. I know you had a good life but we all know that as good as life is, it has its sorrows. I'm so glad you are free from those and that you now know the truth. Thank you for the lifetime of wonderful loving memories and moments that I would never trade. You were the best grandma anyone could have ever wished for. I'm excited for the day that I will see you again.

Steve, My thoughts are with you and your family. I have never forgotten the kindness you shared with me when my father passed and I hope to leave you with the memories of support and concern when you think back on this time in your life.

Agnes was one of the most loving and caring people I will ever know in my life. She was my very good friend and much like a second mother to me. The Cechini's and my parents Ben and Audrey were best friends for many years. When I lost my parents Chick and Agnes were always there for me with comfort, guidance and support. For years and years I have enjoyed all my visits with Agnes. We shared our feelings on good days as well as not so good days. I feel blessed to have known such a beautiful person as Agnes. I will miss her hugs and cherish all the love she gave me throughout my life. God bless you Agnes. My heartfelt condolences to the Cechini family.

Agnes was a dear friend to me and Marty. I enjoyed my visits with her and the stories of her life in Ohio growing up and the love of her life, her husband John. I never grew tired of her stories. I even learned she snow skied! She offered me wonderful advise for being a mother, wife, friend. I will always cherish. I pray to live my life as wonderful as she did placing Christ first. She always spoke so highly of her son Steve and enjoyed the time spent with him playing dominos with his wife Kathy. She meant so much to my husband Marty and I and I will always remember her.
