I think about you all the time. .When I hear something important the first thing I think of is to call you and tell you. YOU made so many friends and had a great way of meeting and talking toeople. You loved meeting new people and talking . You could talk for hours to anyone. And Never met a stranger. I know you are not suffering anymore. You were the Perfect Mother to means Grandmother to Kayla.

Mom I Will Forever Miss You. You were a Great Mother and Grandmother. Life is different without you. You were such a great Grandmother to Kayla. You were Loved by many people. Your thoughtfulness and caring nature is hard to find now days. You grew up in a better and simpler time. You never knew a stranger. 
    You were suffering from many things in life in the last couple years of your life. The main one was the loss of your first born child (Floyd E Hodges,jr.). As you said many times "Your not supposed to bury your children". That was the one that brought you down more than anything. But to add to it you lost your husband (Floyd Hodges,Sr. in 1996. Then it was your brother (William Perigo). A couple years later it was your boyfriend (James Hayes) in 2015. And on October 20,2016 it was Ed your son. Ed had a heart attack while driving a little more than a mile away from Mom's  house. Then not long afterwards you were diagnosed with Congestive Heart Failure and couple other problems. Your knee had Severe Arthritis and kept you from walking or movinguch cause the pain was terrific. You were not one to complain about pain. So when you complained I knew it was bad. The Arthritis kept you from getting any exercise so the congestive heart Failure was able to take control of your life. You were a Tough lady and accepted your fate and we're ready to go to be with the rest of your family and loved ones. Your not suffering anymore but I MISS YOU MOM !!!! I loved and miss talking with you. Whaen I talked to you about a bad day I was having, you made my day better.  I WILL ALWAYS MISS YOU AS LONG AS IM ALIVE. I will see you and everyone else some day, but hope not too soon. 
             Missing you and Love You Forever Mom,
                        Your son proudly, Kelvin

To someone we will miss at our neighborhood gatherings to play skipbo,  Billie was a joy to be around,  and will be missed, Ewalda, Kaye and Ann
