Grandma,
These past few days have been so hard. I guess I never thought you would go you have made it through so much I guess I was leaning on invinsable. The hardest past of the past few days is that you were not hear to hold me adn let me cry and tell me it would be alright like you have so many times before. I am so glad Keenan and I got to see you the other week. And I really would have brought you that fish sandwich. But anyways know that you are in my heart adn on my mind and always will be you touched a place in all of us like no one else ever could. You love so genuinely and with out cost or judgement. You are truely a saint in every way. And just tell Grandpa once your done cooking him his plotsac and the million other things I'm sure he's missed that he should take you to see elvis. Or maybe even dancing. And just remember you still owe me some perogie so have then ready when I get there. There worth the wait. Good night sweet Grandma and may you rest in peace... in the peace and joy you have brought to us over these years. Oh and don't forget you are the "grandma that I like" to keenan and he will miss you dearly i only wish he had long to get to know you in life but he will know you in legacy.

Pat, Kim & Family:
Jeff and I were so saddened to hear about the passing of your mother. However, when you shared with us that you were pretty sure she had accepted Christ into her heart, what a blessing! God is so good! It changes the burden of grief to a celebration of her life. God bless you all. You're in our prayers.

Kathy and All,

I am so very sorry about your mother. She was my second Mom for years when we were a lot younger. Kath, I will always remember her sitting out by the pool to watch us swim to make sure we were always okay and certainly not fighting with eachother and then making us balogne sandwiches for lunch. I will remember her always having to watch her "stories" in the afternoon. I also remember when I would spend the night, we would fall asleep to the sound of you Mom and Dad watching Johnny Carson. Oh and course, your father teaching me how to swim in kindergarden. Your house was my home away from home and I loved it and will be forever grateful to both your parents for giving me some of the most wonderful memories and child could ask for. They made such in impact in my life. What wonderful parents.

Please accept my condolences for your loss.

MOM,
THIS IS THE LAST GUEST BOOK I CAN SIGN FOR YOU. THERE ARE ALOT OF LASTS FOR US THIS WEEK. THE LAST TIME I CALLED TO REMIND YOU TO WATCH AMERICAN IDOL OR DANCING WITH THE STARS. THE LAST TIME I CALLED YOU TO SEE WHICH GROCERIES WE COULD SAVE A FEW DOLLARS ON WHEN THE SALE ADS CAME OUT. THE LAST TIME I CAN CALL YOU ON THE PHONE AND THEN CALL BACK AT LEAST 4 MORE TIMES IN THE SAME HOUR. THE LAST TIME YOU CALLED ME AND TOLD ME YOU CALLED TO TELL ME SOMETHING BUT YOU COULDN'T REMEMBER WHAT IT WAS. THE LAST TIME I COULD LEAVE YOUR HOUSE ON MONDAY MORNING, AFTER COLLECTING THE VARIOUS DISHES YOU COOKED FOR ME FROM THE REFRIGERATOR AND FREEZER AND TELL YOU I WOULD CALL YOU ON MY LUNCH FROM WORK. THE LAST TIME YOU CALLED ME FOR WHATEVER REASON AND TOLD ME YOU LOVED ME, JUST TO TELL ME. THE FIRST AND LAST TIME SOMEONE SAID THEY THOUGHT I WAS PRETTY. THE LAST TIME I SAW YOUR BEAUTIFUL FACE IN PERSON. THE LAST TIME I TALKED TO MY VERY BEST FRIEND. YOU MEAN EVERYTHING TO ME MOM, AND I MISS YOU SO MUCH.
LOVE, KATHY
