To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Dear Ryan Family,
I recently learned of Lee Ann's passing and want to send my sincere condolences. I met Lee Ann when we were second grade classmates at Sacred Heart School in N. Quincy and we graduated together from N.Q.H.S. class of 1976. We would reconnect at our class reunions and it was as though we were always close friends. I will miss her bright smile, her kindness and the special bond we held over the years. Rest in peace Lee Ann.

May you find comfort knowing she is with her Mom.(Watch out Heaven you are all in for a treat.)I'll always remember her. May she rest in peace. Love Anne & Ron Moscato

Dear Ryan and Dow Families,
I’m thankful that I had the pleasure of sitting next to Lee Ann for four years in homeroom at NQHS (76). When my family and I made the move to Squantum several years ago, Lee Ann and both of your families reached out to us in a special way that made us feel most welcome. Lee Ann’s unique qualities enriched everyone who knew her. She will be greatly missed. You’re in our thoughts and prayers.

To Lee Ann's Family,
I was shocked today when I heard of Lee Ann's passing.
I always bring my dog Zachary to the park behind The Nickerson Post and we were always happy to see Lee Ann there. She only knew us from the park but always took a moment to greet and pat Zachary, say hello to me and talk about anything under the sun. Reading the words others have written only enforce the type of person we knew Lee Ann was.
Sara Regan Levine

We are sorry for your enormous loss in Lee Ann's passing. She was a true gift of life itself to all that met and experienced her. That fantastic enthusiasm and brilliant smile will keep her forever in our hearts and minds. She was more than fabulous and we were more than lucky to have known her.

Lee – give Phyllis, Bud and Hazel a hug!

Lee Ann, a long time patient of my office, just had that special way about her.

Our deepest condolences to your family. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time.

Dear Skippy, Lori & Tommy, Billy & Meg, Caitlyn,Tommy,Annie, Ava and Emma,
It is so difficult to put into words my love and thoughts of Lee Ann and for all of you. She was so full of love, it would just come bursting out through her beautiful smile and sparkling eyes. She always had a big kiss and hug for me and everyone in my family. She made all who knew who feel so special, yet she really was the special one. She was thoughtful, fun and more fun but most of all she was a true expression of love. It is with a heavy heart we pray God Bless You and keep you till we meet again. Our love is with you always.

Dear Ryan and Dow Families:
I first met Lee Ann at "Curves" in Quincy, where we would work out a couple of times a week. She always had a big smile and great stories for all of us girls. After "Curves" closed, I didn't see her, until Braintree Rehab. Skip, and my husband Fred were roommates there (for about a week). After work I would be with Fred and Lee Ann would be there with her Dad. We kept each other company and shared some laughs. Fred and I also had the pleasure of meeting Lee Ann's sister Lori and her brother-in-law Tom. Please know that you are all in our thoughts and prayers. God Bless you all.

I believe I am one of the rare people that marries into a family that embraced me whole heartedly. LeeAnn was always in front, most generous of her time, love, and with a smile, able to push her pain aside so not to burden others. She was, and will forever be, the Lovely Auntie LeeAnn. We'll think of you every time we see a rainbow.

Please accept my deepest sympathies on the loss of Lee Ann. In November I saw her for the first time in many years, and she was as sweet and kind as I remember. No worries, she is in the best of hands.
