Hi Mom,
Today is November 24, 2008. A year has passed since you left us for a much better and well deserved destination.
Thank you for passing on your Christian faith to our family. I was looking at some of the notes that you sent over years to us about family ancestors and our Seneca Indian heritage too. Thank you for instilling love of God, country, and family. Thank you for your eternal love. I will always miss our Sunday morning conversations and just hearing your voice. I love you more than words could ever say.
your daughter,
Dianne

In 1980 my Great Aunt Eileen and my Great Uncle Claud took me into their home during a difficult time in my life. Meeting with family I barely knew, they all made me feel at home and safe,reassuring me things were okay. The time I spent there has always been a part of me and the things I do today. Having a family like that is unforgettable! Loving memories are always in the heart and never forgotten!

Eileen (and Claude) were "our" first neighbors after we were married in 1974 there in Sacramento. Even though we have been out of state and sometimes out of country since 78, we stayed in touch and always got together when we were in town. And each time was as if we had just seen each other the day before. Our friend Eileen was like a candle in the dark.... and we will miss her eternally cheerful attitude and genuine caring. Our thoughts and prayers are with her family in their time of grief.

I Love you Grandma, that is what I would like to say to her again and again!. Her positive attitude and influence helped me in so many ways during my 47 years, she always had a special confidence in me while I was reaching for various goals through out my life. Grandma always new what was going on in the family and loved each and every one of us no matter what. When I visited Grandma in Sacramento last month I turned on the radio to find some classic rock but this country song came on, its by kenny chesney (dont blink) the lyrics hit home in so many ways as I realized that my grandma didnt have much more time in this world because you blink and its over. My memories of grandma, she was loving, caring, giving, hard worker, positive - can do attitude, she had a way of conveying her thoughts with one look at you, especially if you did something out of the ordinary or stupid. She loved to laugh and always had a beautiful smile, but most of all my sons ryan whom played the guitar over the phone to her, sean and joseph Tami and I will never get to see her or hug her again. I miss you, and love Grandma pm
