My prayers and sympathies go out to you and your family, Tibby.  Your Mother was such a beautiful and special lady.

May God comfort and bless you all in your time of sorrow. I'm sure she, as well as the cookies, Chad often shared with us will be missed.

I have vivid memories of Sissy when I was growing up and my Mother and I would go and visit her on hot Summer days. Wonderful! May God Bless you always and in all ways.

Sis, although we are apart, your sweet spirit lives within me, forever in my heart!!!!

God saw you getting tired, and a cure was not to be, so He put his arms around you and whispered, 
"Come to Me."
With tearful eyes I watched you,
and saw you slipping  away, 
and although I loved you dearly, 
I could not make you stay.
A golden heart stopped beating,
hard working hands at rest.
God broke my heart to prove to me,
He only takes the best.  My memories of you will stay tucked away in my heart forever and a day!
Love you,
Elena

Sis, I will Miss you dearly!
You were a precious gift from God above,so much beauty, grace and love.
You touched our hearts in so many ways,
your smile so bright even on the bad days.  You heard God's whisper calling you home,you didn't want to go and leave us alone.  You loved us all so much, you held on tight,till all the strength was gone and you could no longer fight.

So you gave your hand to God and slowly drifted away,knowing that with our love we will be together again someday.  I cherish all the wonderful memories (stories) I have tucked away in my heart; there is where I will visit you often!
Love you always!
Elena

93 years --Wow--Who could be sad about that but what we will be sad about is how she brightened our days, made us smile and made us laugh. Most of all we will miss not just what a wonderful mother,grandmother and great grandmother she was but what a great friendship she offered to all who loved her, she was my friend. She had given me a key to her apartment and I would just drop by sometimes and one day I dropped by and opened the door and she was sleeping on the couch so I went in and went into the kitchen and made some noise and she never moved so I went back outside and knocked louder and stuck my head in and said "Sis" loudly --- She said "hey come on in" I said I thought you might have been taking a nap, she said no no I was just watching this old Carey Grant movie, I never said anything. I guess now she truly is sleeping and if there is really a place we all go after this life then she will certainly be welcome there and one day we will all be there to see her again.

May you find peace and comfort in the memories of the joy and happiness your Mother gave to everyone who knew her.

Loved Loved Loved the Slide Show.. What a beautiful and amazing lady "Sis" was and she will be deeply missed.. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all during this time of sorrow.. Celebrate her amazing and full life cause that is what she would want.. Watching the slide show made tears roll down my face and i had a moment of sadness then I quickly smiled and thought WOW i hope my life will be as full of joy and happiness as hers was.. My Love to the entire family,

May God be with you and your family during this time of sorrow.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

Our deepest thoughts are with the family. Sis was a very special lady and lived a full life. We will always be grateful to have met her through our son-in-law Chad.

Mr.&Mrs John Dillon
