To my loving Gigi, there’s so much I want to say,
But I’m too small to talk just yet, so mommy will today.
We haven’t known each other long, since I’ve been on this earth,
But you have been my living angel, ever since my birth.
You’ve spoiled me and loved me so, like only grandmas can,
You made me laugh and even taught me how to clap my hands.
With kindness and your silliness, I loved you from the start,
You always held me tenderly, and did so with your heart.
You couldn’t get enough of me, and hogged me from the rest,
When it comes to great-grandmas, there’s no doubt you're the best.
Every time we’d say good-bye, you’d bless my tiny head,
And after that, God only knows how many prayers you said.
As He began to call you home, you watched me crawl and play,
So happy in my presence, you began to slip away.
I’d like to think your heart was full, our one last time together,
And at that moment, life for you, could not get any better.
It’s hard to not feel cheated, for the short time that we had,
There’s so much more we could’ve done, and that’s what makes me sad.
I’m proud to just have known you, in the 9 months I’ve been here,
The precious time that we did have, will never disappear.
And even when my memories of you become a blur,
My mommy will make sure I know how wonderful you were.
You lived a long, fulfilling life, can’t wait to learn about you,
I wish you didn’t have to go, it’s not the same without you.
I hope you come to visit me, like Cee-Cee has before,
And send us signs that you’re at peace that we cannot ignore.
We’re still each other’s angels, kindred spirits young and old.
Forever in my little heart, as yours was made of gold.
I love you always,
Vienna LuAnne

Hi Gram,
It’s been one week since that fateful night that God called you back home. Nothing could’ve prepared me for this, as you were so present and full of life only minutes before. The image of you making that transition to heaven will remain vivid in my memory and stay with me forever as both a blessing and a curse. Watching this incredibly strong, beautiful, vivacious, independent woman fall victim to such an unexpected tragedy was way too much to bear. It shattered my heart and shook me to my core to see you so helpless, so lost, so trapped in your own body. Were you scared? Were you in pain? Did you understand what was happening to you? There are so many unanswered questions that I’ll forever have, but I choose to believe that you heard every word, felt every touch, and knew you were surrounded by your family in your desperate time of need.
Since that night, I have struggled with an overwhelming sense of sadness…not only for your family that you left behind to miss you, but sadness for you and how much you would miss us too. You were ripped away from us within minutes and decided to join your angels only hours later. I would like to think that God spared you from any suffering, and that the light He shined down on you was so beautiful that you couldn’t resist walking towards it. Every day since, I find more reasons to be happy for you, and that is what will get me through. Just visualizing your reunion with your baby sister with whom you lost so long ago, I am overcome with joy. I can imagine that you had quite the welcome wagon when you reached your destination, and that makes me smile.
You were simply too good for this world. When I think about it, I’m actually surprised that God didn’t take you sooner. The only reason I believe that He kept you here with us for as long as He did is to spread His love and make the rest of us better human beings. And Gram, the souls you touched are truly immeasurable. You weren’t just a sweet grandma in her golden years, and you weren’t just a little old lady who was a pleasure to be around. You were a living angel, earthbound for nearly 85 years doing God’s work and touching so many lives. It’s hard to be sad when I know that you’re exactly where you deserve to be.
Though our time was cut short, I will try not to be greedy. I’ve been fortunate enough to have you in my life for almost 34 wonderful years and in Vienna’s life for 9 loving months. I’m thankful that you always insisted on holding her, feeding her, and playing with her as much as you did. If I knew that your time with her was so limited, I would’ve given you more opportunities to do all of those things, and for that I’m so sorry. Now you can see her and bless her whenever you want, and you don’t have to wait for us to come to the house for a visit. I can’t think of a better guardian angel for her, and since you and Cee-Cee teamed up and joined forces, I feel even more at peace knowing that you will never let anything bad happen to her. And I’m sure that when the time is right, you will pick out the perfect brother or sister for her.
We still had so many memories to make, so many recipes to exchange, so many holidays to celebrate, but I will always be grateful for the time we did have together. You were such an interesting and remarkable woman to know, and I learned so much from you over the years. You always let me know how proud you were of me, and everything I make in my kitchen from here on out will be in your honor. I will continue to talk to you every day and not feel silly one bit for doing so. They say that energy cannot be created or destroyed, and I’m confident that yours is still here among those who love you so. We’re gonna be okay. We might be a small family, but we are a strong one, and all you did was make us even stronger. I love you, Gram. Visit often and make yourself known. I’ll be waiting patiently…

Josephine,
I have only had the pleasure of knowing you for a short while, but the amount of love that you showed me from day one, feels like I've known you my whole life. I am honored to be a part of your wonderful family. Marrying your granddaughter and giving you a great grandchild was a privilege, and even though you only met her for 9 months, I'm sure you will be looking down on me and assisting me in being a perfect father for Vienna.

Dear Gram,
As I write this, I am still struggling to find peace knowing you're not here. I know it will be a long while until I can smile in the absence of tears when I think about you, but keeping you in my thoughts provides me with enough peace and courage to finally share my feelings. As I find comfort when thinking about the decades of memories I have with you, I cry knowing there are no more memories to be made. When I laugh at the thought of your humor and silly jokes, I cry knowing that with laughter, comes pain. I cry thinking about the tremendous loss of you to our family. I cry when I realize that goodbyes hurt the most when our story was not finished. Your constant generosity, kindness, and compassion will live on through all of us: your children, grandchildren, great grandchildren, brothers and sisters, and loyal friends. Your story will continue to be a lifelong compilation of love, written by your loved ones.
I know that in my heart, you are in a far better place. A place where you don't have to worry. A place where there is no pain. A place where you can look down on your family and friends and be happy knowing you can always be there for them. I think of this place and know you are safe. Safe from sadness and grief, safe from hardship and loneliness. Safe from heartache. You have prayed and prayed for your entire lifetime, and you have been there for others in ways that only angels can be. Knowing that you have spent your life unconditionally loving and caring for those around you, gives me peace. I wish and hope that I gave to you, what you have given to me. I wish that with every tear I shed, you know what you have been and meant to me my whole life... Someone that has taught me the power of peace and love.
I love you, Gram. Always.

Dear Judy, Charlie, Tara, Kristine and family,
So sorry to learn of your mother's passing. She was a lovely, warm and caring lady. Always had a smile on her face, especially when she spoke about all of you and most especially about Vienna. I will miss her smiling face at 7:30 Mass. Last Sunday she proudly told me Vienna was already 9'months old. Heaven has gained another wonderful Angel and this world has lost a wonderful mother, grandmother, great grandmother, and friend. But as you will realize when your grief begins to lessen, she is never gone from your heart. You will celebrate all the loving,wonderful memories you made and shared together. Our family is blessed to have shared in a few of them and to have known such a beautiful soul. Rest in peace Grandma Jo.

Dear Mom~You were always lighting candles for everyone and now it's time I light one for you. Although I find peace in the fact that you are in a far better place, I can't believe that you are gone. My heart aches for just one more day, one more smile, one more "Be careful" from my loving mom. I really thought you would always be there, but in a moment things changed forever. Please don't worry about me for I am grieving and the tears flow with no warning, but I will be OK. The day will come when I will think of you with laughter and smiles while re-living those memories made with my most amazing mom! Rest in Peace with the Lord you love so much. xoxoxo
