My Mother was one of the strongest woman I've ever known. She has been a terrific mother. One that no son could ask for anymore. She has had arthritis since she was a teenager up until the time of her death but never complained. She was strong and a fighter. And fought the good fight up until the end. I am very grateful to have had a mother like her. I love you mom and will always miss and love you.

My grandmom was a very special person to me and to everyone else around her❤️ She had such a great personality as well as a sense of humor. She rarely complained about anything. In fact, it made me laugh when I first heard her say she could not stand David letterman. She said to us “ I can’t stand him!!” It wasn’t just the way she said it that made me laugh. Mostly because she rarely complained about any others around her. I was close with her. I have almost the same personality as she had. I will miss everything about her. As we all will. I will especially miss her sense of humor. I remember a lot of funny stories about her of things she said to us and the ways she said them. There was a time when we were on our way to friendlys and a car in front of us had a license plate that said “ Be Bop” so grandmom was like “ be bop!? What kind of license plate is that!?” But all of us laughed and even she did. Another random moment I remember is when she blurted out of no where “ bob evans down on the farm!!!” But there were also good times as well. The times when all of us would go to storybook land and the times when me and Samantha had any dance recitals and events. I will never forget the time I went to my first prom how excited she was when I told her I was going. She told me her stories about the proms she went to. Which I never knew she went to prom. She even asked me what color my dress was and what it looked like. I remember when I showed her my dress she really liked it. I also remember she was extremely thankful when my mom made her and grandpop escarole soup and we took it down to them. The best thing I love about my grandparents is the love and care being given out to me and Samantha as well as my parents. There was no favoritism of any kind with anyone. I love the close relationship that I had with her. And the love and kindness she gave to my other grandmother who had passed away in 2013. I remember how upset she was when she found out that my other grandmother passed away in 2013. She loved her as well and made her feel welcomed into the family. Now I hope they both see each other. There was so much more of her I love. She never went to one person over another at any kind of function. A time I will never forget is at my great grandmothers 98th birthday. My grandmom had brought party blower horns that made a strange and funny sound. I was the photographer while great grandmom blew out the candles on her cake. So my grandmom kept on blowing the party horn and I could not stop laughing at it because of the noise. And even she was laughing. So everyone kept saying “ Joan!! Stop that! She is trying to take pictures and she can’t while she is laughing”” but like I said grandmom was laughing as well. Those memories I will not ever forget. I will always cherish those memories close to me. My grandmother will never be forgotten. She will always be my guiding light and guardian angel❤️ her memory will be with us always no matter what we do and where we go. So please, for the ones who still have their grandmothers or grandfathers or even both grandparents, cherish those moments with them and the memories you have of them. Those times you spend with them. Keep those memories close to you as you can. Times just go by so fast. My grandparents alive or not mean everything to me so I always keep those memories I have of them with me at all times❤️
