You were always so special to me. Sense I was little I always looked forward to our visits.. I always thought you were so beautiful and I admired how you took care of yourself. Doing your hair and makeup just so perfect . But nan what you didn’t know was how beautiful you were without it. Beautiful and sweet inside and out. You had skin like a porcelain doll , a smile that would light up a room and a heart like gold. You always knew I loved you, but I wish I was home more to share that with you. Our time together was always special. You will always be sweet as white roses to me and will always hold a place in my heart. Forever beautiful , forever remembered , forever Loved my sweet mom’s
To Aunt Mary Family, so sorry for your loss. Years ago I looked forward to her Christmas visits. They were always so delightful. She loved people and a good time. Condolences to the family.
Some may say that you’ve lived a long life and I say you were taken way too soon. There were so many more memories to create, more laughs to share, more videos that you didn’t like how you looked in them. lol
Within hours, I started missing you. I am so blessed to have you in my life, changing my diapers since infancy. You put so many smiles upon my face and I wait in anticipation for the time that I will hear you laugh again.
You were and still are – A GIFT TO ME.
One of your favorite Grandchildren – Bernadette
