Gram- I’m so glad I was able to thank you for everything and I mean every single little thing you have done for my kids, my brother and myself. From the day you took me in when I was left at your doorstep with just garbage bags of all of my belongings. You then became my mother. You raised me as your own and taught me about menstrual cycle because I was NEVER informed about what it means to become a woman. You made me who I am today. The close relationship we shared together is one nobody will ever understand. All the memories we have- I now cherish those moments. All the lifetime movies we watched and cuddled up on your couch watching, the late night Christmas decorating and baking while listening and singing to music I’ll NEVER EVER forget . The endless phone calls because you were so worried about me or worried about your grandchildren(great). You even helped me raise my 2 children since the day they were born first came Mercedes ,your pretty girl and then James, your Jimmy or spanky lol . We were so spoiled with memories and such AMAZING times together. Thank you for opening your home to us when we had no one else and no where to live. We absolutely loved every single minute of living with you and pop. Thank you for teaching me how to cook all your favorite meals that I can now share with family. Your ranch baked chicken, Hand made pasta( manicotti, gnocchi) and sauce, ice box cake, sausage and peppers, even quiche just to name a few. I will forever miss the sound of your voice, your smell, your warm hugs and kisses, and most of all your smile. Because that smile made my world so much brighter. Now that your gone I’m in shock and incomplete once again. I know you would want me to be happy and live on for my kids and that’s what I’m going to do. Please ALWAYS watch out for your pretty girl, and your Jamesy boy and of course me and don’t forget about my brother Vinny Jr. He did such an incredible job taking care of you with Pop. Vinny loves you more than anything in this world. Another grandchild you raised from birth to grown man. You were more of a mother to us both and we appreciate you more than we can ever say. The words thank you aren’t enough for all you have done. As you know we would of done anything for you Gram. It’s definitely proven to be extremely difficult without you and it’s not even a week yet. I’ll NEVER EVER get over you being gone. My heart was already broken from missing my father and now God called you and another piece of my heart is gone. I’m just grateful for you. I needed a mother and you were there , I guess God needed another angel ( or butterfly) . I’m happy you are no longer in pain or suffering though – you fought long and hard and had such incredible strength. Now I will be strong like you taught me and carry on taking care of pop for you. He is my everything and I feel pain for him. He’s sooooooooo AMAZING and you were so blessed with 70+ years together. Your life and love story is my favorite one, it should be a movie. I love you Gram . Rest easily knowing we will all be together again someday. I bet my father and uncle are Happy to see their mother again. I can see my father’s smile NOW! Love you dad and uncle Michael. Watch over us! Sending Kisses and hugs from here to heaven. Xoxoxo 😘💕
My sincere condolences on the Loretta’s passing , Loretta was a great friend to our mother her kindness and compassion will always be remembered may she rest in eternal peace.
