"Nana, I'll always remember going to your house and playing there as a kid. Your homemade food was always the best. You taught me so much about life and you are such an inspiration to me. I'm so blessed I got to have you in my life for as long as I did. You were the best great grandma ever, and I'm honored to have your name as my middle name. I will miss you so much. I love you."

"Grandma I learned so many things from you and never understood their importance until later in life. They were the basics, the fundamentals, the strong foundation of which to build your life upon. They are too many to put down here, but a few will strike a chord with all who knew you. You taught me how to listen to somone and let them know that you cared about them. You taught me how to save money for that rainy day and invest it too, so it would grow until you needed it, and as you knew we've seen our rainy day. You taught me how to laugh as laughter is the best medicine. You taught me how to take pride in all that you do, even the little things in life matter. You taught me how to be a good friend, a good brother, a good son, and a good Father and you gave me the gift of a Family that loved one another and loved you as no other. I will miss you dearly."

"Grandma, I will always have fond memories celebrating our birthdays every year in the month of July. I can also remember waiting to see the Christmas show at Radio City music Hall standing for hours in line and complaining as a young kid. You could always make me smile, and I will never forget how you would tease grandpa about drinking to much beer. Your life is a celebration reaching a milestone that most of us and probably all of us will not reach. I feel god gave you this precious gift because you were a very special person to many. You will be missed. My love for you will always be in my heart. Say hello to grandpa for me in heaven. Love always Your grandson Gary Love alway"

"Grandma, you taught me to cherish the simple but important things in life. I will always have fond memories of sleeping over your house, watching countless hours of CNBC with Grandpa and of course all those home made meals. I can't eat apple pie or gnocchi without thinking of you! I am grateful for the time Debbie and Ava were able to spend with you as well. Love forever, Brian, Debbie & Ava"
