Nana there is not enough words in the world to say how much you mean to me. You were the most loving and passionate grandmother a grandson could ask for. You helped George and I grow up into respectful young men and filled our lives with happiness and many great memories. You’ll be in our hearts for the rest of our days and I know right now you’re standing hand in hand with grandpa looking down at me with a smile. I love you Nana and will miss you so much.
May her memory be cherished for all she gave. May your heart be comforted by all you shared. And May your mother’s life be honored by all she loved. May God be with you. Diane

I just heard of the passing of your mom. She was always very dear to me and very loved. I have such wonderful growing up memories of her when I was a child and later. I remember well her wedding to Leo. I babysat Leo and Maureen when I was in High School. I still have a picture of Kevin on my lap with my postulant’s dress on shortly before I entered the convent. I will always treasure fun, happy memories with Ev.
Love and prayers to all the family,
Cousin Beverly
