Dear Mom,
I will never forget what a loving Mother you were to all of us!
Being a devoted wife, nurturing mother, working full-time, cooking,
making sure you made time for all of us! You inspired us with your
passion for theater, dance, gardening and cooking.
I'll always remember your inner and outer beauty, amazing hair, twinkling eyes, flawless skin, and a Big smile that never left you!
It was a blessing and a honor to have you as our Mother, thank you
for sharing your love and wisdom. You will be in our hearts and prays forever.
Love,
Mary

Dear Mom,
I know you and the angels are looking down upon us in Heaven. We will always love you and miss you.
I have so many happy memories of you and the family. You were such a wonderful Mom in your understated and subtle manner. And what a fabulous cook--your famous jello moulds, potatoe salad, turkey stuffing, lasagna, Swedish meatballs, cheeseburgers, creamed corn, noodles, and apple pies, to name a few. We also appreciated the "dream bars" that somehow disappeared in the wee hours of the night.
You loved to garden. You grew the beautiful pansies, roses, and gardenias.
You were always a lady, always polite and thoughtful.
Our family is so lucky that God lent you to us to be our Mother.
Love,
Colleen

Grandma,
Dad asked me if I'd play "Amazing Grace" at your Mass on my saxophone. He wanted to do something special for you and I did too. I hope you liked my playing - I tried to do my best. Everyone says you were the best, so that's what you deserved.
I hope you're feeling better now. I like to think you are. Look over us and pray for us, just like Father Flavin said you would.
Love,
Matt

Grandma,
I read this poem at your Mass. It reminded everyone of you.
God's Garden
God looked around in His garden,
and He found an empty place.
Then looked down upon this earth,
and saw your tired face.
He put His arms around you,
and lifted you to rest.
God's garden must be beautiful,
He always takes the best.
He knew you were in pain.
He knew that you would never,
Get well on earth again.
He saw the road was getting rough,
And the hills were hard to climb.
So He closed your weary eyelids,
And whispered "Peace be thine".
It broke our hearts to lose you,
But you didn't go alone.
For a part of us went with you
The day God called you home.

Grandma, we'll miss you but thank you for making our lives beautiful and God's garden beautiful too!
Love,
Danny

Mom was the definition of quiet dignity. Everything she did, she did for others. She was an incredible woman with an incredible family, and the best way to honor her memory is to love and care for each other the way she did. We'll miss you, but I know you'll always be with us.
Love,
Phyllis
