Denise, Matt, Helen and all,

My thoughts and prayers are so with you every day now. I am serious, my Dad would be so happy to see his precious grandniece! (my mom too!)

I am so sorry distance prevents me from sharing your grief in person.

Do remember there are so many lives to live for, especially your twins-they will always have an angel.

Take care & love, Roberta

To The McNicholas Family,



Our deepest condolences to you all at this extremely sad and tragic time. The loss of a child is so horrible, and burying a child is a task no parent should have to bear. Your pain will never cease, although time may dull the edges of it.



Maeve will never be forgotten by those that loved her, and her memory will live on in you all forever. Although she was only 2 years old, you all learned how to live, and love, life thru the eyes of your beautiful daughter. Cherish your memories, and cherish all that Maeve taught to you all. Even though she was small, she taught big life lessons for all to learn.



May God comfort you all now and forever. Maeve will look down and smile on you all, as she is now your Guardian Angel.



With our deepest and most heartfelt sympathy,

The Prajka Family
