    You never were without love and family, and you always will be as you have now joined Noni and Grandpa and your 5 brothers and 3 sisters in heaven. I will always remember your smile, and how everyone was welcomed into your home with a big hug and a dish of spaghetti. , God Bless. Will miss you.

    Auntie you were all ways there for me. Your home was open to all of us day and night. When I was going through a difficult time with my Michael. You called or came to Children’s Hospital to see him and rock him to sleep. you had everyone in the city of Quincy praying for him .
    I thank you for that and much more I’ll miss your smile and sence of humor. I love you Auntie
    your God child
