Mom,
   I will miss you so much, I have so many memories of you. Playing with your flower in the garden, cooking your wonderful roast dinners on the weekends.  Laughing over a cup of tea.  My heart breaks to know that you won't be there except in my prayers.  You taught me alot and keep me in the family after Allen and I spit up.  Thank God Allen and I kept a good friendship so all would be alright with our family.  I will always call each and everyone of the family, MY FAMILY because in my heart you and Dad kept that feeling going.  I love you so much and will miss you.  
    Allen, Ralph and Pat, I am so sorry  for the loss of Mom.  I love all of you and hope to keep in touch often.

All my love,
Kathy

Grandma,

You will be deeply missed, though you will always be in my heart.

 I will treasure all the memories I have of you, especially those from my childhood. I'll remember cutting the paper dolls from your magazines, yelling out the answers to your t.v. game shows, and playing cards. What I'll remember most is spending time with you in your garden. Such a lovely place. I don't think, as a child, I realized how much love and work you put into that garden. I just remember how pretty it was and how wonderful it smelled. You always let me water the flowers and pick as many of them as I wanted. It was such a joy. 

I'll always remember your laughter and the way you told me I was your favorite (I know, I know, you told all of us we were your favorites, because we all WERE!)

Mostly, I'll remember how gutsy you were, how you always spoke your mind, and how you hugged so tight.

I'll miss you, Grandma. 

I love you. You know you're my favorite,

Jane

My dear Aunty Adeline, our Lipton tea and BINGO, Queen!  You must have stock in Lipton's tea by now!  Thank you for all my childhood memories. Summers at your place and for just letting me hang out with you, Uncle Ralph , Uncle Johnny and Aunty Evelyn when I was a teenager; not to mention Manuel and Ester.

I'll never forget my first Tony home perm you gave me when I was about 7 or 8 I cried for days because it turned out so kinky. I already had curly hair, but mom hated the stringy ends.  You did come over and cut my hair short with the (razor) to rid it of the perm. I still hated the cut for months.  

I'll always remember how you and Uncle Ralph, loved to  dance the jitterbug. You two were about the best dancers I'd ever seen when I was young. You were such a handsome couple. 

Can't forget what a beautiful garden you always had. That was your hobby and a lot of love went into it; It showed.

I also remember how impressed I was when you told mom, that you and Dorothy Starr were going to take swimming lessons. You were both in your forties and believe it or not you both became good swimmers.  

Last but not least, Bob and I will always remember and be thankful, on July 4th, 49 years ago you and Uncle Ralph hosted a BBQ for our wedding day at your home. Mom, had already taken I'll at that time.  

We'll miss you, your laugh and wonderful prune cake at Christmas. 

Forever in our memory you'll be. "Until we all meet again"  

Our  Condolences to the entire Dutra family.

With Love, 


Yvonne, Bob and family.

I would like to offer my condolences on the loss of your mother.  I just wish that I knew of all the family that we had up in California.  I hope to meet all of you soon and hear all about your mom. Aloha Gail (Souza Dias) Elizares
