Gram - Thank you for all the great memories we had while growing up. I remember fondly the family trips to the campground and most of all our Florida vacation to Disney World in the 100 degree weather....you never complained once about standing in those long, slow lines, but you put up with all of us grandkids complaining about the heat. Your Christmas parties were the best even though we dreaded singing our animated "Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer" but Aunt Joan always made us sing it before we opened presents. LOL I will never forget when I got my Wisdom Teeth removed and you came to my house with a HUGE BOWL of your Pistachio Pudding which you thought I loved...but it was actually Jenni who loved it. :-) I enjoyed your eclair cake, baked spaghetti and bacon spaghetti...nothing compares to when you made it! Most of all I remember your great smile and laugh and how kind you always were. You will truly be missed and I am glad you are in a great and peaceful place and I will see you again one day!
Love Your Grandaughter Amy

Aunt Lucille you were such a wonderful and loving person. You touched all our lives in one way or another. We all have such wonderful memories of our childhood from picnics in your yard each summer swimming in the pool, to vacations in Michigan, and all our family parties and Sunday picnics. You always had a smile, and we knew you loved us all.
We will all miss you, but know you are at peace and surrounded by loved ones gone before us. I hope tonight you are all having a big party in Heaven. I love you!

Patrick,
Just wanted you to know I was thinkin of you and saddened by your loss.

Most people have someone they look up to as a role model, someone they truely admire and respect, I found that person a long time ago...I call her Mom.
As I look back on those growing-up times, my heart is full of love for the really great mom you've always been. We will all dearly miss you, but take comfort in knowing you're in a better place with those that have gone before you. May God hold you in the Palm of his Hand. All our Love for Eternity.
Your Loving Son,
Bill
