I always thought you were a nice woman, but felt you had lots of stress in your life. Due to the actions of your husband, I feel that you lost a whole family. I feel sad for you at all our family holiday celebrations.

Smart and popular in school. You love being active; especially skiing. You traveled to Maine for a weekend ski trip. Your Uncle, my Dad, died a few days later. You didn't attend the funeral because of the long trip to Maine. tsk. tsk. tsk.

44x365x146 - Happy Birthday Terry!

I have never known life without you. My second mother. You never had children, but you certainly are a caretaker to everyone around you. You earned success in a man's world. You are an inspiration. You were there for me the night Dad died.

You were my second father and always hilarious. I loved your antics, your humor, everything. I had no idea we would be bonded forever when you passed away on the exact same month and day as my own father did. We are family. Forever.

I grew up listening to your negative comments about me. As an adult, I realize that I was one of your many victims. You ceased to be part of my family when you spoke badly of my father at his wake. Pray for forgiveness.

We share a name together. I grew up with you and we were only close because of my familial duty. I enjoyed more times with you when you were ill than when you were well. I think we missed the best of each other.

I still have the dictionary that you gave me for high school graduation. I also still use the bath towel you gave me for college. You have been gone for so long now, but you live in my heart daily. I love you Grammy!

I became an uncle when you were born. I fed you, changed you, and lived with you. We watched Alf together each week, and played race car LOUDLY in the aisles of Zayre's. You will always be my lip lockin' lip lovin' little lova!

You are an incredible person, but you do not let anyone in. When you marry into a family, you should treat your new family members like your own family. You are missing so much by not sharing yourself with all of us. Join us!

When we first met when I was interviewing for a job. We discussed a mutual friend and we began to speak like old friends. Four years later, we have a friendship that I hope to have for years to come. I love your humor.

You have a friendly and bubbly personality, but I think you are intimidated by those around you. I wish you would learn from these great people instead of finding fault. Life is more than you think, but you will learn when you become "real."

You have the thoughts and desires of a child's future in your very hands. I admire how you help shape their vision of their own future without interuppting their balance. I wonder what you persoanllyu take away from each experience. It must be awesome.

I call you "The Queen" because you have a royal quality about you. I love it when you have a plain face on, and no one knows if you are mad or not, and then I make you laugh. Your face lights up beautifully.

When we first met, you misjudged me. Once we shared with each other, we understood. I like the relationship we have because it is honest and sincere. You are a confidante, and have supported me when needed. You inspire me more than you know.

44x365x134 - Jennifer

I find you to be an interesting blend of compassion and ego. I like the fun side you can display, but really dislike it when you openly judge others and extend a hurtful comment. Your smile and laugh has an undertone of game playing.

I always saw you as the handsome, successful man who literally had it all. When your marriage ended, we spoke about our similarities in life. It was a great moment because I felt that we really connected and were on a level playing field.

A nice young man who is lucky to have the family that he has to support him. You have a great sense of humor when you allow yourself to open up. I can't wait to see what inspires you to succeed as you mature.

44x365x131 - Jefferey

You have this air of confidence about you that is inspiring. I have a hard time relating to you because I feel a bit intimidated by you. You have a brilliant mind and a successful life. You are a great Dad and devoted husband.

A beautiful young lady who seems to have life going her way. You were born with a silver spoon in your mouth. I know growing up had its tough moments, but am glad that you could rise above it and be your own person.

My lovely niece who got married today. You have inspired me by being independent and smart. You went after one degree, began your career, then decided you wanted to "Save Lives" and make a difference to the human condition. I am proud of you!

Tomorrow you join the family when you say, "I Do." I hope your kind nature and goodness will remain intact as you begin to enjoy all that life offers. I admire your strength and honesty to show how much you love my niece. Congratulations!

You married my cousin and I am so happy to have you in our wonderful family! You have this elegance about you and great karma always surrounds you. You helped the children in our community and you live in Massachusetts. Thanks for being YOU!

We never talk about it, but we always seem to understand that we live in very different worlds. I accept you for where you come from, who you are, and for your successes. I wonder if you accept the same in regards to me.

I can't believe that we are related because we rarely see each other. When you were younger, you would occassionally come to our family gatherings. You have a lot of opportunities in front of you; take them and be respctful to those around you.

You were one of my best teachers when I was at an awkward time in my life. You taught my peers that everyone has something to offer, even the quiet, unpopular kids. Your example opened the eyes of so many. Thank you sooooo much.

My english teacher during freshman year of high school, who taught me that humor was a good thing, especially in writing. Your warm and motherly manner made me work harder. I saw you recently and got to tell you how you impacted my life.

You were my middle school teacher, my high school vice principal, and now, we work together to change the lives of children through mentoring. You are there to assist me, even as an adult. Thanks for coming to Bowl For Kids sake each year!

44x365x121 - Mr. Ford

You were my high school guidance counselor, and I still remember how you laughed at my future dreams. You were supposed to encourage me to improve my life and inspire me to dream. Your grade as a high school guidance counselor was a "D-".

We broke up with our girlfriends on the same day; how odd. You were my best friend through high school. We double dated at many proms and dances, and even brought our girlfriends "parking" in the station wagon. Thank God for station wagons, huh?

My college career was enhanced because you were my roommate. Put together at odd circumstances, our friendship brought both of us great memories and special times. I think we were strong as a family, but both failed by not remaining brothers throughout our lives.

Going "Slut Dancing" with you and the gang was always a blast! How about those hand cuffs and the hankerchief? I remember sliding across the floor and giving you the big dip. And Patti laughed hysterically. We have had some great memories, haven't we?
