It can’t be 10 years already. So many times I have thought “mom would know. I’ve got to ask her” but then I remember. You are so missed, so loved and will always be remembered. Love you always. Continue to rest in paradise. Your #1 daughter

Mom,
It´s been 8 years since I´ve heard your voice or held your hand but not a day goes by that I don´t think about you, and smile. What I wouldn´t give to spend another weekend on your couch watching Family Feud or the Lifetime channel with you. Can´t tell you how many times I still want to pick up the phone to share something with you. My heart still aches that you are gone and so much has happened since we said goodbye that I couldn´t share with you. I hope you and Daddy are holding hands looking down and smiling.
Love and miss you both so much..

May you rest in peace Rita. I didn't get to meet you, but I know a lot about you from Trish. You were a phenomenal mom, a fantastic grandmother and great grandmother. You raised a kind, loving, compassionate family, and they love you dearly. You are missed, but will never be forgotten. You live on in the hearts of many.

Dear Aunt Ri,
July 15th was a big deal in our home growing up. It was one of the few times you would see my Dad on the phone as he would call his sister every year to wish her a Happy Birthday. It was nice to witness through the years how much you meant to each other. When he had surgery years ago and I called you to tell you all was clear you yelled "Christine, you better not be lying to me damn it ! ". And in 2013 when he was dying I would put the phone to his ear so he could hear your voice! The afternoon after your passing I was coincidentally inside of 370 Grand Central Place where you grew up being given a tour of the place from the people that bought it from my folks. While there I kept thinking that besides you seeing Uncle Tom when you entered heaven's gate you will see your Mom. You lost her when you were just a young woman. I rejoice at the idea that the two of you will be together, just tell Pop to shut up and step aside. Much love always, Chris. Xoxo

My beautiful and loving Momma !!

Dear Momma, You are at peace now and surrounded by the ones who have gone before you, but I will miss you terribly here on earth. Please continue to watch over us as you have done as a wonderful and caring mother and grandmother and classy lady that you are. Thank you for being all those things and for imparting all that you have into my life. You will forever live in my heart and my memories and I will smile and my heart will beat with love and gladness everyday that I think of you. Rest In Peace now until someday the Lord calls me to be with you. Always and Forever, Your "#1"
