Auntie Glenda,
Since the day you were called home, not a day has gone by when you haven't consumed my thoughts. It is with a heavy heart that I realize with each passing day all that will be missing in our lives. No longer will we be able to experience the genuine warmth and love you conveyed in a simple smile. But it is comforting to know that no one can take the imprint you left on my heart. A few days after you became our angel, little Emma awoke in the morning and wanted to know if her Auntie Glenda was still sick. Telling her that you will never have to be sick again somehow made the sorrow a little more tolerable. Gone too soon, but the memories we'll share keep you with us and will ensure that our girls' continue to know your love. You made the world a better place. Forever in our hearts...I love you- Michelle Donnelly-Arnett

Auntie Glenda,
Since the day you were called home, not a day has gone by when you haven't consumed my thoughts. It is with a heavy heart that I realize with each passing day all that will be missing from our lives. No longer will we be able to experience the genuine love and warmth you conveyed with a simple smile. But it is comforting to know that no one can take the imprint you left on my heart. A few days after you became our angel, little Emma awoke in the morning and the very first thing she wanted to know was if her Auntie Glenda was still sick. Telling her that you will never have to be sick again somehow made the sorrow a little more tolerable. Gone too soon, but Bill and I will ensure the girls always know you and feel that love through sharing the eternal memories. You made the world a better place. Always in our hearts...I love you- Michelle Donnelly-Arnett

Auntie Glenda, you were such an inspiration to me. You treated me like family, sometimes more than my own blood. Your smile would brighten every room you stepped into, and I can only aspire to be half the woman you are. You were so incredible and your love will always be reflected through your family. I love you, and I'll always take care of "our chantel".

Dear Mom,
From the moment Larry came into my life, I became another one of your sons. It was so natural, really... your strong, loving, humorous nature was so like the mom I lost some 20 years ago. I felt at home and loved you like one of your many children. I will miss you deeply, but know that your out there in Heaven somewhere gallivanting around in a RED CORVETTE! Dear Mom, I hope that the second part of your journey is as filled with joy and love as the time spent with us. Forever and one more day.
Love,
Craig
