Dear Donna, Frank & Jim,

Please know that my heartfelt sympathy goes out to all of you and your families. Nana was such a beautiful person and I am so glad I was able to have her in my life as long as I did. With becoming a Nana I hope I will be able to fill her shoes half as good as she did. I know how much Nicole & Tim loved her as we all did. She's in good company now and being looked after hopefully by my mom and dad and Donnie D. I'm sure she gave him the good news and she's probably tipping a vodka with him now. Know that we are here for you and feel your pain. Take care. With Love, Linda

Dear Donna,
Please know that my heart goes out to you especially, as I truly understand a daughter's love, but also to your brothers and your whole family. Your mom was a wonderful lady and will be deeply missed by all who had the opportunity to know her.

My Dearest Nana:

Today I am different, because you are not here. My heart hurts, I never got to tell you how much I loved you, I never got to say goodbye. You took care of me for 38 years and were always there for me. I will cherish forever, our talks, our laughs, our cooking lessons, and I know I will never be able to make lentils like you. I will never be the same person without you here with me. Today and everyday I will carry you in my heart. Everytime I go to Dress Barn, or eat a stick of doublemint, I know you will be with me. I am hurting, so bad, but I know your pain is gone, and now you are with Papa Jim, a day you have waited for, and now you are at peace. You have made all of us who we are, you have made us better wives, mothers, friends, daughters, because of you, me, my mom, Nicki and Andrea are all better women. We will take with us all your love and life lessons. We will always love our children and our husbands before ourselves, because that is what you have done. I will miss you everyday that I am alive, and someday you and I will be together again, until then, I love you, always....

Love

My Dear Nana:

For 38 years you loved me, took care of me, guided me, listened to me, and were always there for me. My life is so empty today, and will be for a long time. I will cherish everyday we had together, every memory, your hugs, your smile, everything about you. Everyday of my life I will carry you in my heart, everyday. I wish I could have you back, and tell you everything I wanted to, but I cannot. I know you finally have the peace you deserve, and you are no longer in pain. Today you are with Papa Jim, a day you have looked forward to for a long time. Please always be my guardian angel, and know that my heart although broken today, will carry you in it forever.

Love you forever,
Lisa Marie(Bunny)
Your first grandaughter
