Eric, Renee, Jonathon, Brenden and Amanda,
My heartfelt sympathy on the loss of your Mom and Grandmother. You were her world. She lived for you. One of her proudest moments was Jonathon graduating college. I know she had hoped to live long enough to see the other two graduate college as well.
We had many many long conversations both being nurses. Some lasting 7 hours. She was pationate about her work and care of her patients. They were fortunate to have her as their nurse. It was hard on her that the illness took away her ability to function in her career.
Carmela was so sentimental about her heritage, Bubka and her parents. We had many conversations about her trips to Ohio. I was glad she came with you Eric and Renee and Jonathon. I am happy we were able to stop in New York with our family and visit on your Grandfathers deck.
Elisa, Carmela told me that you were helping her out and even spent a few holidays with her and Eric and family. I know your attention brought her comfort. Joseph, Vicki, Valerie and Vinnie losing a sibling is hard. Carmela is now with your Mom, Dad and grandparents out of pain.
All our time on earth is getting shorter. May you be close as a family and support each other. Take your sisters place and check on Eric and family like shepherds to keep his family close.
My love to all,
Cousin Terri
