John, It is with great fondness I remember you and your mother. As a junior high teacher at St. Gregory’s I will always remember how she loved you and wanted the best for you. I am sure she is looking down upon you from heaven. Keep well!
I love you and will miss you always Nana.
My beloved Sister and until we meet again you wil always be in my thoughts
I will never forget the good times we had, like watching 4hrs of soap operas and doing jig saw puzzles, I love u NANA i know u r in good hands but i wish they were mine.
Mrs. Race,
I will always have a peaceful feeling inside me when I think of you. You, like my mother are one of the most selfless, thoughtful, kind, non- judgmental, considerate people God put on this earth. I will think of you often, especially during Christmas when I hang the beautiful stockings you knitted for us. Until we meet again, sweet dreams. Love Janet
Mrs. Race,
You were so good to me and my children, I can never repay you for all of your kindness and generosity . We should all aspire to be more like you! You will be missed and loved forever! Love Sharon
