So sorry to hear about your mom, Michele & Frankie. I lived on Miller St. and was one of Sue's friends when you guys were pretty young. I always admired your mom. I loved the way that she would interact with you guys; the way she always showed how much she loved all three of you. Know that your mom is remembered fondly by those who knew her.

My Dearest Great Aunt Millie!!!!
Life is too short,
It's not enough,
but we must understand,
That if we live it in love and faith,
a road will be made,
For the day we pass away,
We can take it,
and wait at the end,
for those who once and always loved us, we will meet again.
Your beautiful eyes,
showed love,
showed laughter,
showed happiness,
showed sadness,
but we will remember you as the happy beautiful woman you were,
The one who once cried for love,
The one that once laughed,
I love you,
we will miss you,
but please wait,
we will meet once again,
In the kingdom of heaven,
where no pain we will feel.

R.I.P. To the most beautiful loving and caring person. Gram you weren't only my grandma but my best friend and hero too. You were and still are the best grandmother any girl could ask for. I know you were suffering here for a long time so God called you home so you could finally rest. I will never forget you, and everything I do will be for you. I can't believe your gone gram, but you will ALWAYS AND FOREVER be in my heart. You always said everyone has a guardian angel, but now I have two because I know you'll be watching down on me from heaven. I love you grandma, and no one in this universe will ever take your place in my heart. I'm going to miss you grandma, you lived a long hard life, get some rest now...
Love,
Your Bianca
