Hi Mom,
I have been thinking about you so much. I know I have a lot to be thankful for because I know so many people who have lost their mother much sooner than I have but that doesn't mean that it doesn't hurt as much. You were such a great mom and wish you were still here. I feel so bad about how much you suffered and know how brave you were. I hope I did all I could for you.There are so many days I experience a, I wish I could call mom moment and I know that will never go away.
I love you so much.
Your daughter Patty

Mom,
I read your eulogy at the funeral and added my own words. I talked about the conversation we had a few weeks ago about being a mom. You said you were a "cool" mom and I agreed that you were a cool mom and a cool grandmother but most of all you were my best friend. The one person I told everything to and you probably knew the things I didn't tell you. You loved us and your grandchildren. You were so proud of them. You loved all of us and we all love you too. You were taken from us too soon and will always be missed. I didn't mention this at church but thursday morning when my ricotta cookies were burning and my smoke alarms were going off, I realized that I didn't inherit your cooking and baking gene but I hope that will change in the years to come (I do have the shopping and partying gene though :). I will always love and treasure our memories. Love, Cindy

There is always one special thing you remember about someone, with my grandna it was her love. Her love for smiling, her love for laughing, her love for adventure, her love for giving, her love to cook, her love for shoes, her love for the lake, her love for hugs and most certainly her love for us, her friends and family.
I never hung up the phone with my grandma or left her house before she hugged me, kissed me and said that she loved me. Not one wee would pass before she would remind me of the fact that she loved me, and not one week would pass before she heard that she was loved back twenty times over.
My grandma and I shared a love, a strong love which always involved laughter and lots of fun memories.
One of my favorite memories was always our annual Christmas trip to Conn., driving up gazing out at the snow covered grounds and decorated houses and then not being able to even see out the back window because of all our shopping.
I remember having the wind blowing in our hair as we raced down Lake Hopatcong in the boat, eating until I felt like I was going to explode, ice scating at Rockafella Center, the expression on her face when I picked her up in the and told her my parents weren't waiting in the car, her invisibrake, our birthday dinners, shopping until we dropped and only buying a few pairs of socks, long summer nights on her deck where she would paint my fingers and toes, eating the Last Supper everytime we visited and her always worrying that we didn't have enough food, sipping drinks by the pool in Mexico, laughing until we cried when there wwas a bug in her purse on the way to the mall, her serving Courtney and I lobster on her party boat, sitting and coloring pumpkins with her while everyone else was outside moving rocks, fishing with my cousins for endless hours with my Minnie Mouse fishing pole that she bought me, getting flowers at my first band competition, the avalanche everytime you opened her back fridge, and sleeping over for long weekends where she would let me use her big bed. Every memory I will treasure and I know she would like us all to smile and think of the good times.
Grandma, you were a fighter and my hero. You pushed through cancer with the most amazing strength and with a smile on your face and a song in your heart none the less. I am happy you are no longer suffering and that the angels in Heaven are taking care of you. You were and incredible person that will always hold a special place in our hearts. You always believed in me and told me that I could do whatever I set my mind to. But you didn't just share this with me but with everyone here. You could always bring some happiness to our day with one of your smiles and a good meal. You lit everywhere you would go and brightened everyone's life.
Thanks for always being my mom and I's shopping partner and our friend.
Thanks for passing down all of your wonderful qualities and traits to our whole family.
Thanks for being our grandma.
And even though our tummy's will never be as full, our hearts are fuller than ever.
The love, the kindness and smile you shared with everyone will be forever missed but forever treasured.

I just want to take a minute to honor soeone who is not here physically today but is here in every other sense of the word and that is moms loving husband Barry. Barry is at home with one of the heavest hearts of all of us. Barry was so afraid and scared of moms illness but he tried to push that aside and do all that he was able to make my mom, his sweetie comfortable. I give Barry much credit for all he has done and thank him for the 30 years of happiness and companionship he gave to mom.
Lets keep Barry in our thoughts and prayers.

You taught me manners, my please and thank yous.
You taught me respect, when someone enters the room offer them your seat.
You taught me generosity, when you go to someone's house don't go empty handed.
You showed me how not to be afraid of hard work, if you wanted something go after it then you will appreciate it more in the end and lord knows how hard you worked.
I watched you call friends when you needed a favor but more often to say hi how are you, you taught me how to be a friend.
You put soap in my mouth when I sassed you,you taught me etiquette.
You taught me generosity, if you had it and someone needed it you give it to them and enjoy the smile it put on their face.
you taught me how to cook for an army eventhough only two people were coming for dinner.
I had a relationship and love for my grandfather, your father that can't be described he was my best friend, I taught him to read english using my Dick and Jane books and his bible. I scrubbed his clothes on a scrub board in his bathtub, we went to 6 o'clock mass every morning all summer long and we ate pasta everyday for dinner, as a matter of fact so did the dog.you taught me the love and relationship you have with a grandparent is one of the most unique in the world and by teaching me this I wa able to past this along to my children, you taught me that grandparents are special.
you faught your battle with cancer like everything else you did in your life, you looked at in the eye and said come and get me I'll show you who's boss, you taught me courage. You never complained ot took pity on yourself, you taught me strength. For all this I thank you and love you with all my heart.
With all these things you taught me there is one thing I never learned and that is to change my curtains every season and sorry mom it's never going to happen.
Love Patty

The world is truly going to be a different place without Rose. I have never known a person more caring and kind. Whether it was words of incouragement or a bowl of her awsome chicken soup to cheer you up. She never wanted thanks or a fuss. Cheers to you for living a life full of joy and friendship. We love you always and forever....
