To my beautiful mother,
I thank you for all things big and small, never leaving my side and always looking for the best in me. I have been so blessed to have her as my mother and am grateful i was able to spend time with her in the last couple years of her. Although her memory was not as crisp as it once was she was but was as beautiful as she always was, and always had a smile on her face.
Mom I will miss you forever, and someday we will be together again.

I love you mom. I know you are in a better place, wrapped securely in the arms of our Lord. No more sorrow or pain, Surrounded by many friends and family members you didn’t even know were waiting for you. I can only imagine the joyous reunion between you and pop and Butchie! My earthly selfishness wants you here with me, but how blessed am I that I had 66 years with you, my best friend, my confidant….. my MOM!.

Ruth and Frank were absolutely favorite relatives of ours. When my oldest son married, Ruth and Frank were a part of the celebration! The ceremony was on a cruise ship, and they attended and helped us celebrate. My Mom stayed with them after the wedding and had such a wonderful time. My Mom, MarthaAnn, died in October of this year and now the two of them are together again, We loved being around Ruth and Frank, Ruth left us with wonderful memories filled with laughter and love,

My dear Aunt Ruthie, You were a bright star in our family; always happy, smiling and laughing. You were there for us when we needed you. You welcomed us when we visited, and planned so many fun things for us to do. Coming to Florida to visit you and your family were a highlight in our lives. We always enjoyed eating your spaghetti and meatballs which were super delicious. You’ve left me with many loving memories. I know you are now surrounded by many relatives including my wonderful Mom, Leone. Rest in peace Aunt Ruth. I love you now and forever. Until we meet again, Susan

I love you Ruth. Always will. You were always a bright beautiful light in my life. I have known few who showed the love and grace you so easily did. For me it was the spaghetti and Italian sausage. I will have you in my heart until my last breath.
