We are so sorry for the loss of your mother, grandmother, or family. May her love and memories bring you strength and comfort.

Mothers never truly leave us. You need only look in your heart and she’ll be there.

Our prayers are with you and your family during this time of grief. God bless her soul.

You wanted me to call you Julie. You invited me into your home and treated me as a granddaughter…you were always kind and generous to me. We always had good chats… I enjoyed it. I admire how you kept yourself always looking good… make up, nice clothes and I’ve always seen you wearing your jewelry. Chris always tells me stories of WONDERFUL childhood experiences with you and his grandpa…melted my heart every time those memories were shared. When you visited us in Arizona…you were so happy. We got to serve you snacks and drinks from the kitchen counter…like you were ordering from a diner. You thought it was hilarious. You will not be forgotten. Safe travels Julie & may you rest in Peace.

I am glad I was to say the rosary with you in January and I was happy to see you knew the prayer and how it brought you back to life.  I will always cherish the childhood summers at the beach with you and grandpa. I will always remember the homecooked meals and sit down dinners keeping the family together. Now you are again with grandpa. You inspired me to be proud of my heritage, to cook, to do art, to travel, to work hard and be a good husband. 

In company with Christ, Who died and now lives, may they rejoice in Your kingdom, where all our tears are wiped away. Unite us together again in one family, to sing Your praise forever and ever.

May we reunite one day. I wish you a safe passage.  

Your Loving Grandson, 
Chris

My mom was a very giving person.  She visited the sick and welcomed new neighbors.  She was the life of the party and was always fun to be with.  My mom loved to try new things and was creative and was able to sew, cook, crochet, knit and was an avid reader.  Her favorite book was The Secret Garden.

She valued her family and held many gatherings throughout the years including a party for my communion.  Forty people came and Mom decorated the cake with roses.

We will all miss her.
