Nanny,
When I met you 30 years ago, I thought what a wonderful Grandmother Kevin has.
Always kind, loving and so very generous. Once Kevin and I married, you always looked for us at your house, making sure that we are coming over. I am so glad I came to all of those parties to get to know you and your wonderful family. You will be missed by all of us. Kevin will miss you most of all. He loved you so.

Mom, Our hearts go to you. You had a wonderful mother for such a very long time. You have been blessed.

God Bless You!
Love, Kevin, Cheryl, Danielle, Brianna, Michelle and Morgan.

Grandma,
You were the most gentle, loving, giving person this world has seen. I have so many wonderful memories of you. You lived a wonderful life with so much love around you. So today is a sad day, but also a day to celebrate the wonderful life you lived and the effect of your kindness and love that you showed others. You have definitely made everyone around you better people. Im proud to be your granddaughter. Im at peace knowing that you are with my Dad. I love both and will miss you two for the rest of my life. I love you Toots! Love Julie

Dear Carleen and family,
Your Grandmother was a dear to me (as was your entire family) whenever I went with you to Chicago to visit. I adored her-her spirit, attitude, and love. I am deeply sorry to hear of her passing, and send my love and sympathy to you all.

Dear Aunt Mary,

You are a mother to me and you will always be in my heart. I can't begin to thank you for the wonderful memories you have given our family. You were a wonderful daughter, wife, mother, sister, aunt, grandmother and friend to all. I am sadden that God has taken you from me, but I know that Heaven is rejoicing. Please keep watch over the family. I also know my mother is happy to have you with her again. Please tell her I love her and miss her. I love you, Maria
