  4. Bruce and family,
    Your mom sure was a firecracker! She was funny and feisty. I’ll always cherish the time the kids and I spent Christmas Eve at her place. She never sat down. She can rest now with Pops.

  5. I wish we had the time to meet in person. May you enjoy eternity with the love of your life! Your son Bruce carries on the tradition of cooking for everyone on Christmas Eve beautifully. We will miss you here but know you are with your best friend again ❤️. I am blessed to be a part of this family.

  6. Oh Grandmother, so many memories, so many laughs (mostly at Grandfather and my uncle’s). I probably could never count how many walks along the beach, collecting ocean water by the gallon cause you said it would heal my hands. I drove you crazy with worry during 9 years of karate, and all the bruises that came with it. I would always get a special pan of eggplant of my own every holiday that no one could touch. All the small things you did in this big world to always let me know you were never to busy. Now looking back as a grandmother of 3 small babies myself I see why you smiled so much kids say the craziest things. I’ve told so many for the past 3 years when asked “what type of gram are you?” I reply one just like my grandmother and yes Avery is the princess. Alway in my heart ❤️

  7. Mom, God had me assigned to Connecticut so I can visit you this fall when I haven’t been able to in several years. I will miss our Sunday phone calls where we would exchange some spicy words on many subjects. I will always pray for you and know that someday we will meet again. The memories of our childhood and on will always be etched in my mind. The last time I visited you, you were adamant about telling me not to be sad when you go. That is easier said then done. Love you and know that you are in a better place. Rob

  8. Grandma, words can’t describe how much you mean to me and how heartbroken I was when I found out you were gone. But I’m also relieved that you are no longer in pain and you’re finally with grandpa. Thank you so much for all the great memories and all the things you’ve taught me. I have cherished every moment I’ve had with you and will continue to live on knowing both you and pops will be watching over me. I love you so much and until we meet again… ❤️❤️❤️

  10. Gary and family,
    I tried reaching out to say how heart broken I was to hear about Aunt Sherry’s passing! She was always so kind, caring and I did try to keep up after Uncle Ed’s passing we had some great chats. I know how hard it is to lose a Mom…just know she’s at peace and her and Uncle Ed are together starting another chapter!!!
    Take care.
    Love, Cousin Diane and Jay

  11. Ma, you are going to be missed so much. You always said during our calls that you did not want us to cry when you go, and I always said to you that that was a promise I could not make. My tears do come but with wonderful memories of you. I’ve been blessed with your love, guidance, support, advice, laughs and so much more for close to fifty years. And even though you did not give birth to me you were my mom and I was honored that you always called me your daughter. I smile knowing you are now forever at peace with your love my Daddy. Love you always, Donna Rae
