Mom, I'm always thinking about you and miss you so much every day, but some days seem harder than others, today is one of them. Oh, how I wish you were here with us, seeing your beautiful smile and hearing your laugh. I love you.

Your daughter, Amy

I will miss you so much my dear sister Irene. I will always remember how we laughed and enjoyed our times together; sometimes we cried; we could always talk and lean on each other. You were so special to me, a great sister and friend too. I admired you in so many ways; your kindness, your caring, your competence, and beauty, inside and out. You were also the most gracious and wonderful cook I knew. I will always remember and treasure these gifts from you.

I will miss you dear sister. May you rest in God's love and peace. love, Jo.

Mom, you have always been the most special, beautiful person (inside and out) and most important person in my life and you still are. I'm so sad to have to live life without you. I miss your laughter and your sarcasm so much. I miss you terribly.
   I lost my mother, my best friend, but I carry all the precious memories with me forever. Mom, you are forever in my heart.

Mom, I love you and I miss you so much.

Your daughter, Amy

Aunt Irene is one of my favorite Aunts. She was always so welcoming and happy to see us. She would always open her home to anyone, even teach us to cook, and fill her kitchen and her day. She could cook! When I think of her, I think of her happines, love and spirit, she was always ready to laugh and love. She has been and always will be a symbol of beauty and elegance. Even though she should have been put on the highest pedestal, she never put herself above anyone. Her happiness and spirit of life was so strong you could not help but laugh with her, even through the hard times. She has given me so much happiness, love, and shown me how to have the love of life. She will always be a standard I strive to live by. I love you Aunt Irene.

My Mom, best friend, psychiatrist, and the person that kept me confident and always made me believe that all will be alright regardless of my sometimes self destructive actions. Thank you for all you left with me and I will use these qualities the best I can.

I love you with all I have and you will always be missed.

Your Son, Anthony
