Mom
I gave you a plaque for Christmas about 25 years ago that said there was no such thing as an in law. When I married your son you became my 2nd mom and to this day I still feel the same. We will always miss your tuna casserole (jello & fruit). I will miss your smile at every gathering even though you had been cooking for hours and you never cared because family was with you and that´s all you ever wanted was family. I will never forget becoming apart of your family. You always had a smile no matter what even when Mike was to busy watching the football draft on our wedding day and the limo was going to be there in 5 minutes and he was still in sweat shorts not even close to being dressed for marriage. The last few years were hard watching you wither but you always had that smile and laughed when Mike and Wendy had to sit next to each other. I love you and miss you but know that you are happy in the place where you are. And I promise as I always did from day one to take care of your little boy.
Love your daughter Kelly

Nick and family, I was blessed to work with Lorraine in the mac room back in the heyday with her and Paul. Lorraine was the kindest person, always had a smile for everyone and never a bad word about anyone. My condolences and prayers are with you for your tremendous loss.
