Hey great grandma it’s hope I’ve never wrote you a letter before so this means a lot, I wish I could’ve had a few more years with you felt I could’ve learned so much more you had a heart like no other that I can remember never made no one feel alone at such a young age you probably thought we were helping you do everything and get around, it was the other way around grandma you were helping me I love you and I miss you I hope you are proud.

Mom you are my light in my darkest days, I always feel your tender touch on my head, as if you’re telling me, it’s going to be alright, this too will pass. I miss you so much, and love has no boundaries and will last until my last breath.

I remember you today, I was actually talking with my mom about you yesterday as we drove home from Becky's house. We were reminiscing about the winter you came to visit and we had a blizzard. We went out to play in the snow and made snow angels. Today you are an angel, our angel in heaven, watching over Eddie and me. Very much missed. Happy Birthday in heaven.

Time goes by and the memory of our loved ones continues. I think of you often as I do my dad, we had some good times together. When we see one another again we will go on where we left off. Until then, Happy Birthday.

Happy happy heavenly birthday Mom . Wish you were here with us to celebrate but I know you are already celebrating your beautiful birthday in heaven with the Lord and his Angels . I love you so very much.

Happy Birthday, wish you were here to celebrate with us. One day we will be able to though.
Love,
Irene

Hi mom, another birthday is here, thank you for holding me close to your heart. I may not remember, but i felt your love, I’m so sorry that it has taken me so long to understand what sacrifices and pain you endure as you grew, I can now understand, as I have myself an dealing with my own pain. I wish you were here, but GOD knows it was your time to leave us, you did everything that you could for us to be the men and women that we are. I love you and miss you, but one day we will meet again. Love you for ever.

Mom the Years have flown by so quickly, so many things have changed, family has grown to many great grandchildren to even count. I know you would have been pleased. But many more changes have occurred. I love you and I know some day we will meet. Until then I love you.

Just a note to say you are missed.

  Brunilda Fortuna is her name. She was a beautiful, intelligent, talented,humorous and humble woman who believed greatly in God and had the power and piece of mind to raise seven children on her own in a time where a woman's place was her home and jobs were not as easy then as it is today for a woman to aquire. Though very poor, she made sure that we did not starve even if it meant we ate less and had less. A very strong woman who stood up for herself and did not let society dictate how she should live with her children. She was mother and father to her children. Strict but understanding. A very wise woman who did not always have all the answers and was not afraid to admit as much. Never afraid to show her emotions, especially when it came to her children. She instilled the very best of values in her children like, respect,responsibility, accountability and hard work and always put education as a forefront of our lives. She will forever be missed and loved by all who knew her.

Hey mom another year has come, can’t believe how quickly the years go by. Happy Birthday to the sweets mom. Have a great celebration in heaven. Love you always your daughter

Another year without you Grandma. I miss you a lot. I would love to hear more of your famous stories. I miss when you use to discipline us for doing anything that was out of the ordinary. Love you Grandma.

Another year has gone by it is unbelievable to me. That you are no longer here. I miss you every day, some days more than other. And there are those days were I cannot stop the tears from flowing. There is a missing piece missing in my life. Happy 84th birthday love you mom

Dear Mom, its been 6 years since you've gone home. i still miss you and will always miss you. alot of things have changed mom, you have so many new great grandchildren, its beautiful to see them all. they all something of you in them. some are funny, some seem so serious, some are very artistic. but they all have you. you will never believe this but David has 3 girls and they are so very sweet and Al has a beautiful girl also, i just can't believe how much our family has grown. wish you were here to see them. I truly believe you already know them before they even came down to be with us. well Mom just wanted to say i love you.

Well it's been a good 6 years but I won't lie I miss my grandmother a lot. There is so many things I want to tell her ask advice or just to hear some of her stories. I really wish my baby girl got to meet her and my wife I'm pretty sure they would get along, but bringing this all to close I miss you grandma and i love you when you passed it hurt but I know your in a better place and no one could ever take your place

It has been 5 years that Mom went to be with the Lord. She has raised 7 children with love and showed us all the love of the Lord, she is in her new home in heaven and praising the lord and singing and dancing and watching over us as we live here waiting for us to join her n heaven...Miss you mom and we will be seeing you soon  love you

It's been 5 years, can't believe how quickly time has moved on. Life continues our families have grown and they will continue, but let us not forget that without our Mom none of us would be here. May her life always be a light for us. Miss you mom

My Mom was a treasure from God, she laughed with me and cried with me, but above all she was a friend and companion to me. What best defines her was her loyalty, helpfulness, kindness, understanding, forgiveness, encouragement, cheerfulness, humor and what big shoes she's left to be filled by those who love her.
