Aunt Fran,
Who will go with me now to IHOP for french toast with cream cheese?

I only put one cigarette in your coffin, but please don't tell Sunday and Diana ok?

I will miss your quick wit and you always saying what's on your mind.

Rest in peace Aunt Fran.

Love,
Karen

Billy and Sunday:
I am so sorry for your loss. I have fond memories of when Sunday and I were young girls. I remember watching Dark Shadows on many afternoons while eating your Mom's wonderful pastries.

You are all in my thoughts and prayers.

Life won't be the same without you, Mom. You were always ready to do anything; take a trip to New York, go to dinner or a party. You actually enjoyed helping me wash and fold clothes. I am truly going to miss our friendship and love, which is very special and unconditional. I will always love you and miss you every day. I will keep your memory alive. Thank you for being a wonderful Mother. Rest peacefully and watch over us.
