Babygirl and Toots,

(aka Desiree and Nicky)



Please see what I left for Justin, it's the same, however, I must add something else.



I can't distinguish you two from my niece and nephew, and being my own children.



I have always felt as you both are MY babies. I love you the same as I love my own son.



Desiree and Nicky, you both have the same as Justin, "THAT SPECIAL SOMEONE," who loves you not only because your family, but because of who YOU ARE.



Grandma loved both of you sooooo much since the day you were born.



In my childhood, I was so fortunate to have had My MOM, my Granny, (who raised me,) and Aunt Mary (MY MOTHER.)



My Granny and Aunt Mary loved me and treated me as I was their own daughter.



I can never take the place of Grandma...but if you feel the need to have someone to pickup where Grandma left off here on earth.......



My arms are as big as the world and always there for you, along with my heart, my love. To share everything, your love, your anger, your joys, your disappointments, anything and everything.



THEY ARE ALWAYS OPEN, READY AND WAITING FOR YOU BOTH.



I love you so much...



Aunt Barbara

Justin,



My precious baby boy.



It breaks my heart to see you hurting you bad. However, that's a great thing, because you know Grandma loves you soooooo much.



Just because we can't see Grandma in front of you, Babe, Grandma WILL NEVER LEAVE YOU...SHE'S IN YOUR HEART, YOUR SOUL, YOUR LIFE...



I know what Grandma meant to you.



I know what you meant to Grandma.



It's a honor to be loved so much and to have "THAT SPECIAL SOMEONE," who loves you not only because your family, but because of who YOU ARE.



Justin, I was blessed with Aunt Mary, as you were as well. You have been blessed twice, Aunt Mary and Grandma.



I'm so glad you had Grandma in your life.



Grandma gave you, Desiree and Nicky the same as she gave her own children and you should be, as I know you are, PREVILEDGED to have received the same.



I owe Grandma so much for what she DID for you, GAVE you, and most of all, THE LOVE she gave you since the day you were born.



There's no way I could ever repay Grandma for that.



Well, actually there is...



I SEE IT IN YOU EVERYDAY OF YOUR LIFE...AND I THANK GOD I HAVE YOU.



I love you so much...

Tony,



I know what your Mom meant to you...



I know what you meant to your Mom...



There's nothing I, nor anyone else can say to make this any easier or help with the pain.



Just remember, Mom is in your heart ALWAYS AND FOREVER AND EVER.



Out of everything bad, something good comes out of it...



I always loved, respected, and admired your Mom. Even after our parting, we still kept in touch, I would have done anything for her, AND SHE KNEW THAT. Even after 27 years, I knew I loved her, I never knew how much she meant to me.



I owe your Mom so much for what she has done for our family...Our precious son, niece and nephews.



When you look at them, you will see Mom, trust me.



I expressed my thoughts to our son in a previous entry.



Your Mom raised all of you with all of the love she had, and that is within each of you and never forgotten.



The first thought about Grandma that pops in my head...



The family together...

The two of you going at it when you did or saying something to pluck her nerves, annoy her on purpose jokingly...

You'd walk away laughing and you knew she couldn't let it go...

HERE SHE CAME, telling you to shut-up, ETC...

And we all laughed...



Those are the things to remember.



She loved us all, even me.



The family is in my heart and always will be.
