As tave myliu mociute ( I love you Grandma)
We shared so many good times together. You will be missed my dear
“sister”-in-law.
I will treasure my memories of our trips to Foxwoods and the fun Mom, Hector, you and I had there. Aunt Vi, you will be dearly missed. RIP.
Love,
Irene
Mom you led a good life raised a great family and now it’s time to rest with dad and God
May you find peace and be reunited with the love of your life. Know that you have made a significant contribution to this world and that you will live as your children and their children live.
We shared so many memories with you and your family, Aunt Viola, and will miss seeing you at our gatherings. Rest in peace. Love, Del Ann and Bill
Dearest Aunt Viola,
You will always have a special place in my heart! I have many fond memories of our Saturdays together. I love you and miss you already. God has called you home to be with family members and friends who have gone before. So, say “Hi” to uncle and and all the rest, and give my mom a great big hug from me!
Dear Grandma Plant, when I was young you and Grandpa accepted me and loved me as one of your own. For this (and other things), I will be forever grateful.
I learned how to play Gin and poker from Grandpa and I learned from you that your Kugelis is one of best things anyone could ever hope to taste. Standing in the kitchen grating potatoes with you may seem trivial to some, but to me…Those moments were special. Those moments had impact. They were real. Thank you so much.
And now, being reunited with Grandpa, perhaps you can share a dance upon the clouds and smile while you both gaze down upon the many lives that you have created and enriched.
Love.
To my very special Aunt Viola, I want to wish you well deserved happiness in your afterlife, and happy reuniting to all you love who have gone before. You, Uncle Albert and your whole family are amongst my happiest memories of growing up. You were always welcoming, always smiling and I love you all, always . God bless you everyday!
