Mom, It has been a year already. I know you are in a better place. Our hearts and tears are still showing us how much we miss and love you. You are home now and we will go on with the pain of missing you. You will always be in our hearts and daily thoughts. Remember always I will love and miss you forever.

Momma, I love you and miss you so very very much. You are the strongest woman I have ever known. I am really missing our late night talks when everyone else was sleeping and you would call me while I was at work and we would gossip about everyone (lol). I could go on and on about how much I love you and miss you, but I think this will sum most of it up.

When you thought I wasn't looking, I saw all you did for me...
When you thought I wasn't listening, I heard every word.

Loving you always and missing dearly,
Your youngest daughter Denise Marie Liggio

Mom,
There are not enough words to say and ways to show you how much I will miss you. Only the tears will show how much I will miss and love you. I hope you know that I will truly Love and Miss you forever. You will always be in my thoughts. I hope you will enjoy your new life without the pain and be the strong women that I knew you were. Please make friends with Dad up in heaven and let him know that he has never been forgotten. I know you are not alone and you have a good family up there with you ( Granny & Pops, Franny,MawMaw & PawPaw Liggio etc…). You have all the time in the world to play BINGO and CASINO GAMES. This is your time to win. Someday we will be mother and daughter together again .. Until then .. I will MISS YOU!!
Forever Loving You!!!
Love always your oldest daughter,

It's hard to understand why our love ones are called home, but it is by faith and courage that you begin to realize that God only takes the best and it's at his time of need. We all grew up so close as cousins and the memories that we have never fade and it's those memories that everyone will stop and talk about that will bring comfort to your heart. Each of you have another special angel to watch over you every second of every day and Marilyn will forever be by your side. My prayers and love are sent to all.

I might not be there in person, but my heart is breaking anyway. She and I go back a long way. She is still my sister-in-law and always will be.

I know she is with Pops and Granny, but she is also with my precious angel, Jenell (Nellie Bell).

Although she is gone from earth, she is always in our hearts and in the arms of our saviour. She no longer has to suffer any pain, either physical or emotional.

I am so sorry that I cannot be there, but please hug one another and say this is from Sandra.

I love all of you.

As the years go by we all remember the times we had playing in grandma's yard on Delery Street. Marilyn was always with Dottie, Kathleen and me. We shared alot of wonderful times and laughs together and as the years have gone by those memories are more precious than ever. God has granted her peace and no more pain. Again with your momma and daddy, grandma and grandpa. She will always be at your side and in your heart and mind. My love to all and know that you are in my prayers for strength and courage.

Dottie and Michael,

I wanted you to know you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. It's never easy to lose someone we love. The blessing in this is that we know Marilyn is in the arms of Jesus and there is no more suffering for her. Let your wonderful memories sustain you and hold them close in your heart. I pray God will bless you. Love you, girl.

I am so sorry about Marilyn's passing. I remember all the good times when we were children by Aunt Mel's house and Grandma and Grandpa Green's house. Her pain is gone and she is now resting peacefully with God and Aunt Mel and Uncle Carroll. Take peace in knowing she was loved by everyone and her heart and soul are still with you.
