I am so sorry to have lost you grandma great, you have always been an important part of our family and I will always have fond memories of visiting you "by the choo-choo train" picking berries, eating homemade burgers and zucchini bread. You'll live on in all of us.
RITA USED TO CLEAN OUR HOME WHEN I WAS YOUNG BUT SHE DID SO MUCH MORE THAN THAT.DAD WAS AN ALCOHOLIC AND MOM PASSED AWAY LONG AGO,SHE IN MANY WAYS BECAME A SURROGATE MOM.SHE WOULD TALK AND HELP GUIDE ME TO BE A BETTER PERSON SO I WOULD DO WHAT IS RIGHT IN LIFE.SHE HELPED US SEE AT TIMES THAT WE WERE STILL A FAMILY AND WE ALL FELT BETTER WHEN SHE WAS AROUND US AT HOME.SHE HELPED MOTIVATE ME TO DO MY STUDIES AND GRADUATE FROM HIGH SCHOOL AND SPIRITUALLY TO GO TO CHURCH AND THINK ABOUT THE CONSEQUENCES OF MY ACTIONS.SHE WAS A SPECIAL LADY THAT REALLY HELPED THE WHOLE FAMILY.SHE ALSO SPOKE ABOUT HER OWN FAMILY AS TIME WENT ON AND HOW SHE WANTED ONLY THE BEST FOR YOU KIDS.SHE IS A RARE INDIVIDUAL THAT DID SO MUCH FOR SO MANY,YOU FELT CLOSER TO GOD JUST BEING AROUND HER.SHE ONCE SPOKE OF TALKING TO THE BLESSED VIRGIN WITH KAY AND I AND WE KNOW THAT SHE IS IN HEAVEN CONTINUING GOOD WORKS FOR OUR LORD .SHE WILL ALWAYS BE REMEBERED.
