You were always a funny person and made us laugh at dinner especially as adults it was of course more fun! Hope you’re enjoying family again with the ones you miss the most over the years.

That tribute video is beautiful, what a life filled with wonderful memories made with family❤️ I will always remember our rides to Cape May NJ singing Patsy Cline and looking for the turtles some of my most cherished memories of my teenage years.

From your grandchildren: We will forever cherish all the laughs, love, and lessons learned from you, as you have played a major role in our life as our grandmother. We will miss you deeply, although we loved you even deeper than words can express. We are so thankful and blessed to have been able to call you our grandmother. You are so special. We know you are now resting peacefully with everyone who you have loved and missed deeply. Until we meet again, Shorty. We love you.
Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

Mom, The older I get, the more I realize how fragile you had become. In my mind, I never accepted that one day would be the last. The weekly sleepovers we shared over the last 13 years brought us both happiness and joy. We had endless conversations about everything and nothing. We would laugh, and we would cry. Pictures and memories are what we have now. We are blessed to have them, for they are what will keep your life and memory alive. If there were ever unspoken words, let them go, because actions speak louder than words. Our daily phone calls will be missed, but most of all, the goodbye kiss. May you feel peace knowing you are now reunited with your loved ones. Good night, Mom — until we meet again. I love you, Dee

I loved you to pieces my friend. You enjoy your time with Bill riding that motorcycle in heaven. I’m sure you made that agreement before you got there. Someday I’ll meet you on the flip side but not real soon. Love you my friend.
