Thank you for being in my life Grandma. We didn't see each other often or for long visits anymore but my whole lifetime is filled with memories of you. Thank you for loving me and looking out for me in the ways that you did. For introducing me to Monti's and Maude's in Arizona and Mario's in Detroit, tho you and I hadn't ever gone there for a meal.  I love the story of how you met my Grandpa. I finally went to Mario's just this past year in fact. I don't think much has changed inside. It was easy to imagine you working back in the day and my Grandpa sitting in your section for lunch, everyday hoping to grab your attention. I admire the love you two had for each other. If only I could find that one day too, if only we all could. Thank you for being the only kind and loving Mother to my father who needed you in his life who loved and appreciated you so dearly.  I will always miss the sound of your beautiful voice, your lauph and your giggle. I'll Love you always and forever Grandma, pasta and potatoes ❤

Dear Mom,  
You were a blessed woman to have such good health ! And make it to almost 100 ! 
Every conversation of late, you always told us, "God must have forgot about me, because this morning my eyes opened " ! And we would have a good laugh ! 
We were not aware of your passing, how sad! 
Enjoy Heaven with Dad ! I know he's always watching over us. 
And now he's happier yet that you have joined him. 
You made the best Manicotti and we still have the recipe ! We'll be making it soon in your Honor. 
Love Always, until we all meet !
Tom and Janie

My dear Grandma was such a spunky, charismatic and energetic woman.  I absolutely loved her laugh, it was the cutest little giggle, especially when she was retelling a story about a past event almost as if she was telling a dirty little secret-I will miss that the most.  She gave great advice and was the best cook I've ever known.  I hear her now calling out to my Grandpa as she crossed into heaven "Bobby, finally, I thought God forgot about me"! She always said they were like 2 little love birds.  I'm happy they are together again.  I'll miss seeing her every year year when we visit AZ. Love you Gram-you almost made it to 100! Thank you for sharing all of your wisdom and recipes, I'll always cherish our lunch dates and how much you meant to me growing up.  ❤️

Grandma, I have many wonderful memories of you from my childhood. Rest in Peace, say hi to Grandpa. Xoxo

 I will forever remember the delicious meals she served & how much she loved her Bobby & living in Arizona.    I was certain she would live to see her 100th birthday & she almost did!  My sympathies to her family.
