Well mom today would have been your 62nd birthday. I can’t believe it’s another year of not celebrating with you and buying you a cake with the kid’s picture that me and Brianna previously took for you, planning a surprise party that I actually did surprise you with, giving you gifts and cards that made you smile, taking pictures and videos even though you never enjoyed it, or having your whole family under one roof to celebrate with. It’s just not the same without you. Your smile would light up the whole room and your chuckle would make us all laugh as well. I can’t believe how fast the kids are growing I know you are proud of them. Keep on watching over us, your siblings, and your closest friends. We miss you and love you. Forever Young

Hey mom it’s been 2 years since you left us. The kids are growing up so fast and I know you would have loved being here for them. RJ is now on a basketball team and doing well I know your spirit is on the side lines cheering him on. We are still grieving you were the glue that held this whole family together. We miss you. Keep on watching over us we love you.

I miss you so much, Babs. Sometimes I feel like your gonna stop over and sit a spell I know you're gone, that doesn't mean I have to accept it. Till you greet me, I will forever be your Big Babs

Hey mom it has been a while since I last talked to you. I hope you are enjoying your time in heaven. I also know that you and Christine have found each other again. You now have another friend to talk to. I just really wish you were still here. I was never ready to lose you. You were our rock. There will always be a permanent hole in our hearts. You were too young and we just weren’t ready. RJ is doing a bit better in school I know you would be so proud of him. Mitchie is doing better in school as well he is becoming better at speaking too. I know they were your pride and joy. I am doing my best to keep everything the way you had it and keep the holidays magical. I don’t know how you always did it because it is a lot and yet you always made it happen. You truly were the greatest. I miss you and love you mom. No one will ever forget you. Have a good day mom. Also I know it’s almost winter. I can not wait to see your amazing snow storm that you always loved. Hugs and a kiss mom.

Hi Babs . Been thinking about you a lot lately, my birthday was so good, but, you were missing. You would have had a lot of fun. I was so surprised. At home later that evening, I just cried for you. Thinking about that perfect cake you would have made me. Just know I love and miss you so very much. Love Big Babs

Hey mom, just wanted to tell you how much I and the boys miss you. I took Kurt to the shore recently he enjoyed himself you would have been so proud. Probably saying how he was a goofball or something for wearing pants the whole time. I work at Dave and Busters now and I’m working really hard to continue where you left off. I really miss you mom you were the greatest I wish I have told you I love you a lot more then I did I hope heaven is taking very good care of you. Till we meet again mom. I miss you and I love you. ❤️Justine

Hi Babs. It's me, your hemorrhoid. I've been down here missing you like crazy, it happens when I don't expect it to. I sleep with your pillow that Bree made us, every night, and go to sleep thinking of stuff. All the food runs I gotta do without you, just life in general. You left us so fast, so very fast. I mourn you every day, miss you more. Till you welcome me home, I'm forever your Big Babs

Hi Justine!

I just found out that your Mom passed away. I was so sorry to hear this. I worked at Aramingo Toys R Us 1990-1995 and had the privilege of working with your Mom. She taught me so much! I remember when you were born. I stayed in touch with your Mom occasionally and I went to see her before the store closed. We spoke at the time and she filled me in on what you and your siblings were up to.

I would have loved to have seen the memorial but it has expired. I guess I just wanted you to know that I thought your Mom was an amazing woman and I was blessed to have known her.

I received this message 4/27/22 mom we miss you.

Fran you were such a good friend to me when I first started my career at Toys R Us so many many years ago. We became fast friends outside of work and I met so much of your family, and your kids and Grandkids...so many that miss you every single day.
I still cannot believe your gone. Gone way to young. We didn’t talk every week...or even every month..but all I had to do was text you or call you and we fell right in step jus like it was yesterday. So many memories I have that I will never forget. Rest In Peace my dear Fran ♥️

Fran, I am heartbroken and still can’t believe you are gone. I have so many fun and wonderful memories starting when we became friends at TRU all those years ago when we were young and before husbands and kids. All the times I stayed over at your house and hanging out in your kitchen. I tell everyone how your Mom always thought we were pulling her leg when we told her our birthdays were exactly a day apart and were born during the same blizzard You were the only one who I let give me a nickname...lol. After starting our families I loved seeing them grow and I know how much you loved them and then your grandchildren. I am so sad you will not get to see them grow up and that we will not continue to grow old together but I am so blessed to have had your friendship for almost forty years and will carry you and the memories in my heart always. I will miss you forever my friend. Love, Mishy ❤️ — with Fran Venneri.

My Babs. I miss you more than words can express. I got a splinter in the palm of my hand. and went to call you to come get it out. Andy the washer man was here today, he was saddened to hear you left us. I'm working really hard to get through the days without shedding tears. Thank you for being a Big part of me. loving you till I die, Big BABS.

I love you mom I can not believe god took you so soon we had so much planned for these 2 boys and abs. You were one of my best friends I wasn’t ready to let you go. I love you mom.
