There is not a day that goes by that I don't think about you Grandma. Sometimes I think of your smile, your laugh, your jokes...and it makes me grin. Other times I think of the fact that you are gone and I won't be able to see you again until it is my time to go and it brings tears to my eyes. I just want you to know Gram that I love you and miss you greatly. Also, I know it was you with me last winter on route 24. Thank you for looking over me <3

Mom-It's been two years now that you have been gone. My heart still remains broken. Having you not here anymore makes it so difficult to get through one day. I cheerish the memories you have given me and I hold them close to my heart. You will never know much you mean to me. I try to understand every day why God choose to take you the way he did. But I am Not sure I ever will. I know your still here with me with all the messages you send. Year 2015 will be the year for justice and you will finally be at peace. I love you always and miss you more than you will ever know. Love your Daughter Kimberly

Gram. 7 years has passed and I still canâ??t believe your gone.. I always think about all the good times we have had together. Christmas time is always the hardest now that your gone. I use to love coming over and helping you decorate with Sammy, making Portuguese soup and laughing till our bellies hurt. I know things are so much different now that your gone, I guess thatâ??s the way life works sometimes.. but if there is one thing you have always done, even now that your gone, is lead me in the right direction. Anyone whew you knew that you never strayed from the truth. And I thank God that things are the way they are now because you have shown me through your little signs that somethings are just better off where they are. I thank you everyday for that... I miss you and love you and I know that you are watching over me everyday. Taking care of you was my greatest joy and never forget the love you have always shown me. Keep watching over us, all of us. Some of us need it more than most, and I pray for those who do. And some day, when we meet again, Iâ??ll be running to you with open arms. I love you gram.

I am deeply saddened to learn of the sudden passing of my Aunt Jean. She was a wonderful woman with a keen sense of humor.As a child, I remember her visits with such joy and laughter.She always made me smile. She also had such a kind and giving nature..always putting her children first. She was a truly inspirational woman, whom I will remember with great admiration and love.
