You were always there with a smile and to lend a ear. Giving great advice with always the best outlook on life. Gram I miss you everyday and I know your watching over all of us but we wish you could have stayed.
The memories we spent together will be locked away in my heart forever, like a treasure chest I will always treasure. When I was a young boy my Dad, the twins and I fishing off your dock down the lake you would keep the ham in the fridge stocked incase I forgot my bait. You were the best Grandmother in the world I still remember how happy you were at the Christmas party when Joey went to eat that clam and found that pearl.
I tried not to cry while writing this poem but the tears I tried to hold back had a mind of their own. If all our tears could form a staircase to heaven just know we would be there with you Gramp, Karen and John in time for dinner at seven.
It was so hard to let you go. Even though we know you are in good hands; with a heart that big God needed you in his plans. Truly heaven made Gram love you with all my heart if I had one wish it would be that heaven had visiting hours so we didn't always have to be apart.
Love Jeffrey xoxo
<3 Love You Gram

Joey and family,
I am deeply saddened by the loss of such a wonderful woman and your mother. She was a big part in my teenage years, never judging, and always had time to lend an ear and have kind reassuring words for comfort. She was a wonderful loving mother to all her children. I'm sure she has not stopped hugging her loved ones in heaven and I know she will be looking down on you and guiding you and her grandchildren through life. I bet my mom was there to great her as well!. I love you guys and she will be truly missed and you all will be held forever in my heart. RIP Jeanne .
Love,
Brenda
