Dear Aunt Jan,

Even though you now are with Our Lord and Uncle Eddie, I will miss you very much. You were my best buddy and partner in crime. Whenever I walked into your kitchen at 662 5th Ave, you always made me feel special and as as I got older you were always on my side ... imagine convincing Uncle Eddie to let me borrow the car!

I could go on and on in my memories of you which I will always cherish ... Marie has kept Spotty for me all these years .... he has a smile on his face knowing you are in heaven.

Keep us in your prayers and say hello to Papa, Mama and Uncle Eddie for me

Love,
Steve

Bye mom.

Smiles and tears today,
as I could not help you stay.
You finished this earthly journey
as God's angels took your day.

As your smile shines in heaven,
our tears will cease to flow.
Although its not clear how,
I'm sure we'll come to know.

The thought of you in heaven,
with gram and dad and friends,
will bring me joy and smiles
and remind it's not an end.

Your faith will still inspire,
and memories fill my soul,
as your flight goes ever higher,
to reach your final goal.

Dad is there to greet you
and show you to the gate.
Your steps will be your own,
to God, your friends, your fate.

Enjoy mom.
Rest in Peace
Janice Larkin
