Mom, it’s been two years today & I miss you more today than yesterday and the day before that and every day for the past two years.   There’s a big void in my life without you in it. I love you. 
Gwen

To Gwen and her family, Remembering your mom with fond memories!

What can I say about my infamous "Aunt Pat" that those who love her don't already know. A woman passionate about her beliefs, whether religious or political. Aunt Pat never missed an opportunity to speak her mind. Those that she leaves behind are lucky to have been loved by such a strong woman. She will be definitely missed. For those she's gone to meet, I'm sure she was met with plenty of love, laughs and smiles. A real woman, sometimes raw but always true to herself and what she stood for. Rest easy Aunt Pat. We love you. 
Pam Easton and family


No one will ever know how much I'll miss this woman. For 36 years while married to her brother Francis (God rest his soul), she never treated me like nothing less than a much loved sister. We shared many many good times and laughs over the years. I'll miss you my spunky sister. Tell your brother I love him and miss him every day.  I'll see you on the other side...
With love,
Sue Johnson

So many wonderful childhood memories at Aunt Pat’s house. Learning to play the card game rummy, trips to Miller Brothers dairy for blue moon ice cream cones (courtesy of Uncle Joe), ice skating in the back yard and summer vacations to name a few.  Memories that will be remembered with a smile. Our heartfelt sympathy to her loving family. May God hold you close in his strong arms and comfort you during this time of loss.  Gaspare, JoAnn & family

Dear Gwen,  We are so sorry to hear of your Mom’s passing.  I still remember sitting in her kitchen with you and snapping beans for her to can.  And that huge garden in the backyard!  Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. 
Love,
Linda (Cookie) & Terry Walker

These hands have hugged me, wiped my tears, held my babies, taught me how to do needlepoint. They loved, guided, and provided solace and prayers to this family for generations. This photograph means more to me than I can explain... I love you, Grams 

Grams - 
Oh Red, you will be missed more than you will ever know.  You had such an impact on so many and spending the time that I got to spend with you over these last years will be something I never forget. XOXO

Always fun spending the night at Great Grandmas 

I'm sorry for your loss.  Your family is in my thoughts and prayers.  

Richard & Linda Mastin

You were a grandma to me and my sister my entire life.  The day you moved to live with Gwen was so hard because I knew you wouldn’t be right next door anymore.  Now I’ve gained another angel to watch over me.  Thank you for my Barbie birthday cakes when I was little, our morning walks during the summer with Joe and Rudy, my favorite cucumber salad every summer, for letting me and Amie sleep  in the fifth wheel, for the best angel wings every Christmas and for so much more.  I love and miss you.  

To my mother, who I will deeply miss & will love you forever. Watching you over the years, always being there to help other,  tought me to do the same.
