Grandma, still in complete disbelief that you are gone now. But I know how much you were ready to be in heaven with pap and not be in pain anymore. I miss you so so much! I will miss us making ornaments and our private talks we had. Me coming down and decorating your tree since I was younger to last year. I will miss having to be the last one to always kissing you goodbye and you always telling me how beautiful I am and how proud I make you. You were and still are the best woman ever! I will miss you so much but I know you will visit me in my dreams like the other night and other ways. Forever in my heart

Yvonne was a lady that became a friend at a very young age. She and her family of kids were always there for us, as neighbors. My brother and I grew up with her family, played together every day, on sixth street, or in the alley. Growing up with Yvonne, her husband, and the kids, made a lot of unforgettable memories for us.

Mom, our hearts are broken . I feel like I lost my right hand. You were always there for me. You were my best friend, my confidant, my advisor, my support. God blessed me with the greatest mother anyone could ask for. You had a kind and gentle heart. You were truly an amazing woman. You are already missed so much I don't know how I'll go on. I know that Dad was there when you went to heaven and that give me some peace, but there's a huge empty place in my heart that will never be filled. I want to thank you for everything you did for me in my life. The love you gave to me unconditionally and never wavering from your love. Say hi to Dad and tell him we miss him as we will miss you. All my love, Eileen.
