Mom always asked about her grandsons, even when much time had elapsed in seeing them. She kept them close to her heart and always wished them love and happiness. She was a dear grandmother.

I have many wonderful memories of my childhood playing with my cousins at Aunt Lorraine and Uncle Joe's home. We had such fun playing games and sharing meals together. Love to all my cousins and their families. You are in my prayers and your mom will be missed. She is at rest in our Lord's arms. Love you Aunt Lorraine.
