To my beautiful mother,
Most of all I want to thank you for giving me life.
Although Alzheimer's robbed you of memory I will always treasure the memories we shared. Our trips to New Hampshire, country stores, and the countryside. You were always when you saw horses on the farms. I will never forget our weekends together listening to opera, Luciano and Andrea, and sipping wine.
I will always remember you gardening. Your roses and gardenia were so pretty. You loved your butterflies.
I will also miss the times we spent together just being ourselves.
 During your final years with that disease you stopped talking.I missed your voice and laughter. You forgot who I was. You no longer knew my name.
The beauty of it all is that I never forgot you. We still had our own way of communicating. It was a long 11 years, but, you stayed strong and fought right up to the end of your journey. You made me so very proud. I did my best to stay strong for the both of us. I did not want you to see me cry, but, I did cry many times. Tears of love, sadness, and at times despair.
 I know you needed to go home to your heavenly father, but, I will forever treasure our time together.
I miss you so much. I am lost without you, but, somehow I know through God's grace I'll be OK knowing that you are no longer in pain nor suffering. That knowledge gives me peace of mind.
Your life of memories are now restored in your soul. You again have your voice, and, you are now truly living your life to it's fullest.
Mom, it has been a privilege to have taken care of you. I am so very blessed to have been able to share so many memories together with you.
I will always love and miss you.
You sleep in peace my sweet girl.
I know I will see you again some day. When that day does come, I know you remember me, and, you will know my name.
I will never forget you.
I love you my sweet angel.
Your loving daughter 
Lucia.

My beautiful tia Ana, 
My memories of you were awesome, you were the coolest aunt and my most favorite aunt out of my dad’s sisters. I always remember your smile! You were always so happy, so alive that you would walk into a room and light it up with your smile.  I want to thank you for being so good and supportive to my mom even when she was divorcing your brother. You were there for us in Rhode Island. You even convinced my parents to move from New York to Rhode Island to be closer to you and have better living environment. I mean I can go on and on about you and be here talking up a storm. Thank you for all the good memories tia. Tia i loved your food and you knew I loved white rice and bacalao which you would make for me. Never ever did I see you sad, angry or upset.  Always so cheerful and I know that now your still the same just smiling from above instead of here. 
Love you tia always! Till we meet again.....Tia that’s why I didn’t want to say goodbye at the hospital because I rather say till we meet again, because I know you are still with us! 

Dear Auntie, Tia Ana

I will remember you always and look forward to seeing you on the other side when we are all reunited with Jesus and family.  I will cherish the memories of your keeping the tradition of blessing us when you saw us.  Also eternally grateful for the time you came along our family's side when we were going through a hard time in my childhood.  I remember the day our family was leaving on a plane and I shared with mom that I had a night mare the night before of flying on a cartoon polar bear and it crashed and his eyes where xd out.  You told mom that bad dreams meant the opposite was going to happen and we took courage from that and went on our flight no problems, no regrets.  You were a source of strength for us in some of our weakest moments and we will always remember.  Peace and Confort to all my cousins and family and her sister and family.
