1 month u r gone already. Think of u everyday. I wanted to be at your memorial and with u when u were leaving us  as I am in the hospital for my back surgery. I will never forget the memories I have of u and Mark. U could always make me smile and laugh. You were my sister in law, but more of a sister. Love u and know the memories make me sad and angry that u r not here now, but in time, they will make me smile. They r eternal. U will live on in all of us. Love, Maureen

Mom,
It's been a month and it still feels like day 1. I miss you more than anything. Lucky is still looking for you. Connor and Nick ask you to come home a lot. We go outside and talk to Baba in the stars.  I don't know if I'll ever get over losing you. I love you so much.
My mom, she was the best. She'd give you the last penny in her pocket and the shirt off her back. Even if we didn't have a lot of money, she made Christmas so special. She loved all holidays. Her tough exterior didn't hide the kindness in her heart.  She always protected all 3 of her kids and was there every time we needed her. Her grandkids loved her so much and we were lucky to have her.

It has been difficult for me to process your loss. We knew our time together with you was limited, but my heart was not ready to say goodbye yet. Each day since you've been gone, a different memory pops into my mind and makes me smile.  I will treasure our vacations and holidays spent together, but most of all, I will cherish your voice yelling, "It's your wedding day!!"  all throughout the morning as I got ready to be married.  You were, without a doubt, the FUN aunt. 🥰 And I shall carry on your sense of humor as a fun aunt, myself, in your honor.

So hard to say goodbye. She was a great Aunt and friend. I truly loved visiting you as often as I could. You will be missed and I hope you are so happy now that you aren't in pain and are reunited with Uncle Mark. Goodbye Aunt Janet. We love you!

Janet was my sister in law, but more of a sister. I wish I could have been with her in her last days and for her funeral. I am so angry my health didnot allow it. I will always remember the memories we made over the years. She could always make me laugh and smile. She will always be a part of my ❤️. Right now I am sad, but know in time all the memories will make me smile. She is at rest and not in pain anymore is the only consolation. Love u and miss u. Another sister gone is heartbreaking, but we will meet again. Love, Maureen

So very sorry for the loss of your Mom. Sending prayers to you all.
