Dear Grandma,
You were a wonderful person and a true blessing to anyone that had the pleasure of meeting you. Your smile was like a ray of sunshine bringing joy to everyone in the room. God has called you home but we will always have the wonderful memories of you. Until we meet again, we miss you and will love you forever.

Dear Great Grandma,
It’s Dominick. I’m too little to remember and don’t understand what is going on. That’s why Mommy took pictures of us together when we visited you. I’m sure Dad and Mom will share their stories when I get older. I enjoyed our visit and loved the songs you sang to us. I enjoyed playing with Freddy on your wheel chair. I love you and will miss you.

Muriel & families, I share in your loss. Both in having lost parents and having remembered your Mom from being on their farm as a kid. Your mom was not only my Great Aunt but a great Aunt and a wonderful person!
With Love from California.
