John, I am so very sorry to hear of your loss of Jean.
My thoughts are with you and your family at this time.

•At this time of loss, may you find comfort in happy memories and in knowing others sympathize and care.

Hi Nanny,

I am sorry that I was not able to speak at your funeral today…I was just too overwhelmed with sadness and grief. So I would like to take this opportunity to say to you now what I was unable to say earlier today. Nanny, it is so hard for me to begin writing this because really, where do I start??

Nanny, you were my rock! You were my listening ear when I needed you to be (which was all of the time) and you always managed to turn every situation into a positive. You were most often the peace keeper and always tried to make me look at the bright side of things. You were one of the best things that this family had…and for that I Thank You!

I will always remember the good times that you and I shared…from when I was a little girl watching and helping you make perogies or sitting together at craft shows selling dresses while giggling all day long…to when I was an adult enjoying the back patio with you while eating “little nibbles” or picking up the phone every other day just to “talk”. So many wonderful memories…but still so much pain in my heart.

I was so truly blessed to have a Nanny like you…and so truly PROUD to call you MY Nanny!!!!! And I am and forever will be elated that my boys got to experience your genuine, one of a kind love! They loved their Great-Nanny so much!!!! And I know that you loved “those little babies” just as much…Riley, Andrew and “Little Mugsy” too!!!!!!!

Nanny, I know that time will eventually heal the pain that I am feeling inside, but right now it hurts so terribly bad that it feels like there is no possible way this feeling will go away. I will miss your voice, your smell, your smile, your hugs and most of all…your love.

I know that you are in a better place now Nanny and that you are once again surrounded by people that love you, which is how it should be…because an amazing lady like you deserves nothing less!!!!!!

I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU WITH ALL OF MY HEART AND SOUL NANNY…AND I MISS YOU MORE THAN WORDS CAN EVER EXPRESS…xoxoxoxoxo

This one is for you Nanny:

How much do I love you?
I’ll tell you no lie
How deep is the ocean?
How high is the sky?

How many times a day do I think of you?
How many roses are sprinkled with dew?

How far would I travel
To be where you are?
How far is the journey
>From here to a star?

And if I ever lost you
How much would I cry?
How deep is the ocean?
How high is the sky?

LOVE YOU FOREVER AND ALWAYS:
LYNETTE

Mom, where do I begin? Tell me how to stop feeling so empty without you……I Love You with all my heart and being. My solomn promise to you is that I will look after Dad forever. The service was beautiful, you would be proud. You had lots of love surrounding you Mom. Dad is getting the Chinese food you wanted for Christmas dinner and John and I are going to spend Christmas day with him. I miss you Mom! I will keep writing my thoughts of you if that’s okay….I will keep them with me always.

Call me when you get home Mom, just to let me know you’re okay.

I LOVE YOU!
