Merry Christmas Sissy. Christmas time reminds me of snow. Remember when we were younger, and the snowfalls would start. We waited for the heaviest snowfall(s). We would take long walks in snow that we could barely see 2 feet in front of us. It was so peaceful and a wonderful way to spend time together. Remember when our cousin Ginny came with us one time. We made a right turn and Gin kept walking straight. We had to find her. When we finally got back home we looked like 3 snowmen LOL...Sissy if the Bridge has snowy days grab Jennifer's hand and start walking. I will be thinking of both of you. Miss and Love you so much.

Dear Ma Darrow,
It pains me that you’re gone. I love you very much. You’ve completed life’s journey and now Heaven has gained another Angel. I hope you will visit me the way Jen does. I would like that, so listen for me. You were in my life for 33 years as my adopted mom. You were very good to me, taking me into your home when I needed help. I can never repay you. I could always come to you crying about something, to get your opinion on big life decisions or just for a laugh. You were a good listener, always supportive and forever loving. Thanks for being Christopher’s Ma Darrow too. I will look after the boys.
LYD,
Lisa

Stephanie, I hope you knew how much you touched our lives. You were a part of our family in every sense. You were Ryan, Ally, Aidan and Jack´s Grammy. Thank you for always being there for us and making us feel so special. I took for granted that we would have more time together. I have so many special memories of us hanging out at soccer and baseball games or around your kitchen table. We miss you and we are thinking of you today on your birthday. Sending you balloons and love from the beach. Rest in peace. Love always, Amy, Matt, Ryan, Ally, Aidan & Jack.

To My Dear Friend On Her Birthday:
Had I known you were ready to leave us, I would have stayed longer to laugh a lot more, as we always did when together, and I would have hugged you a lot longer. I probably still would have apologized to your roommate for having to put up with you(as I did on my way out), because that was our relationship. " See you at home, love ya" were our last words to each other. You fooled me Grammy, as I never, in my wildest dreams, did I think, that you would be leaving this earth the very next day.
You will be forever in my heart, my dear friend, Grammy. It has been said, "It takes a village to raise a child." You were an essential part of The Manning village, welcoming James and Lauren into your home daily, taking the time to chat with them at the kitchen table, feeding them often, and watching them for us at a moments notice.
I am grateful that I was given the chance to make one more salad for you, to make one more Dunkin' run- decaf ice coffee, with cream, shot of hazelnut and an old fashion donut.
Rest in Peace Grammy.
Love you.
Mary Beth

Dear Mimi,
You were the most caring and most thoughtful person I have ever met. Since the day noah introduced me to you, I knew that I was with good people for once in my life. You always were so nice to me and offered to get me whatever I wanted because you wanted me to feel like I was a part of the family. Noah always talked so highly of you and you really were the best person to be around. Seeing how much you did for Noah was really something special. He is an amazing person and has the sweetest heart because of you. The person he has become today is because of you and I couldn’t thank you enough for that. You meant so much to both of us and doing life without you is definitely going to be hard. We miss you so much everyday and will continue to honor you in every way possible. Thank you for being such an amazing person to me and treating me like your own. The days I got to spend with you were truly one of a kind and I will never forget them. Thank you again for everything Mimi❤️
Love always,
Tricia

Grammy- although we did not spend a lot of time together, you left an imprint in my heart and a void in our lives! From the first day I met you I knew you were a force to be reckoned with and I had the utmost respect for you. So many reasons to thank you, but here are some… welcoming my daughter into your family and making her one of your own, showing love to my little ones (who loved you in return), and most of all for raising such a wonderful young man in Jordan!
My only regret was to not have thanked you in person. God rest your soul, you were an amazing woman - a force to be reckoned with!
Love- Angelica (Ariana’s mom)

Hi my "Pal", 46 years of friendship went just too fast for me. Our girls were 3 & 4 and kept us entertained and busy. You made me get my 1st tattoo and then a 2nd one, now I have 5! I played Barry loud enough so you could hear him across the street at your house! We played in your pool and spent hours on our porch watching the neighborhood. Those were some of the best years of my life and the memories are imbedded in my heart along with you, I will miss you and my visits to Cape May. So, until we meet again my "Pal" I will miss and love you 4 ever. Always your "Bud" (Pat Condit)

Dear Grammy,
You are truly amazing. My heart is shattered knowing we didn’t get to say goodbye but I find warmth in watching the tremendous impact you left on this earth. You are loved by so many people and it is because you loved and treated every person who entered your home as family. When I think of selfless, I think of you. Thank you for treating me like family, making me laugh, calling me out on my bs, supporting and loving Tim, having spill the tea chats with Ariana and I, being there for Ariana through all life’s ups and downs and for being a grandmother to all of us. Thank you for raising two amazing men that have shown to be as kind hearted as you. To have shared a part of your life with you was truly a gift.
Love you forever,
Kayla

Dear Grammy,
It still doesn’t feel real. There have been so many times in the last week alone where I’ve wanted to share something going on in my life or ask your advice on something. You were my confidant and we spent hours talking, laughing, and watching tv. I’m going to miss your motivational speeches to me telling me “you can do it” and “keep pushing” when I was at my lowest. You were one of my biggest supporters and you always had my back. I’m going to miss you calling me your “grand daughter in law” and seeing your big smile at the kitchen table when I would come over to just hang out with you. Your laugh was infectious and your jokes made us all belly laugh. You meant more to me than many people know and you impacted my life more than you will ever know. I’m going to miss taking you to dr appointments, and cooking you the healthier version of your favorite meals. I would give anything to be able to have one last conversation with you at that kitchen table and I would tell you all the ways you changed me and made me a better version of myself.
Thank you for raising the most amazing young man. He owes the man he is today to you and I can’t thank you enough. My heart aches to know you won’t be at our wedding, as I know it was what you wanted to witness most. But I promise to make sure your presence is palpable at our wedding and that Jordan never feels alone. I promise to take care of him, make him happy, and correct him when he’s wrong (like you taught me).
Thank you so much for being the best grandmother, supporter, friend, mentor, “grandmother in law”, and everything in between. We will miss you everyday with everything we have. It’s hard to try and tell ourselves that your at peace now but I know that all you wanted was to be with your Jen and I know now you can both now rest. I Love You Grammy ❤️ until we meet again.
Your “granddaughter-in-law” Ariana ❤️

Let me start off by saying thank you Mimi for everything you did for Jordan and I because I don’t know where we would be if it wasn’t for you. We had so many funny, sad, and angry memories with each other. I’m gonna miss all the times u used to yell at me to get off the “video games”. I’ll remember all the times you used to yell at my friends as like they were your grandsons too. There wasn’t one friend that didn’t look at you like their other grandma they all loved you just as much as your actual family. The one thing im going to miss the most is the yelling at me about random stuff I could leave a piece of crumb on the table and some how you’ll still see it. Don’t get me started with driving you places I couldn’t go two over the speed limit without you yelling slow down. It was a interesting 24 years of living with you but I would do it all again with out hesitation. When I played soccer you were my number 1 fan every time I scored I just hear u yelling across the field it put a smile on my face every time. You used to sing me a song when I was little and I could remember word by word and one day I’ll sing the same exact song to my kids. You did everything for Jordan and i and Words can’t describe how much that meant to us. There’s just so many memories and I could go on for hours but I miss you so much Mimi you never be forgotten. I love you Mimi I hope to see you again one day.

This first picture in cape may was the best. So funny how scared you were and told Phil not to leave you alone with this hobo. I had such a great time that day and fooling everyone. Phil and I always looked forward to what fun adventures we would have in October when our trip to cape may came around. And then the time phil hid your sister Linda scooter at Mario’s. You did good pretending you knew nothing about it. Of course linda got even by telling Phil her name wasn’t Linda , it was Anna . And poor Phil looked at all of us like what was going on. Then there was the picture of all of us with funny faces. Don’t know what we were drinking that night. Whatever it was , we had fun. The time you came to Pa to visit and you really liked Ollie’s. Went shopping that day. And the last picture was when Phil and I surprised you one Christmas Day at your house. Every year had wonderful memories and you and your family became our family. The word EXACTLY, will always be pronounced a certain way. You will always be my best friend. And yes phil will always be your A_ _ Man . All our Love forever and ever.
Pat and Phil

Dear Grammy,
Words can’t even describe what you mean to me. You were my everything, since the day I was born you provided everything for me and Noah.
I can’t thank you enough for the 26 years of care love and support from you, I love you so much. When times were tough I just hope you knew how much I loved you And would do anything for you.
I will always remember hearing the cowbell ringing from The stands at hockey games and at the top of the steps at memorial field And looking up and seeing you on your scooter cheering me on. You were one of my biggest supporters along side mom.
All the times I’d call you or you’d call me and it would always start with HELLO MY GRANDMOTHER and you’d always respond with HELLO MY GRANDSON I always loved that and that’s something I will truly miss
I know you’ll be looking down alongside mom and pop pop earl tell them both I love and miss them with everything I have in me.
I will always be your jaybird.
This isn’t a goodbye it’s I’ll see you later.
Sending you my biggest hugs and kisses to you up there
I love you always
-Jordan

Sissy, when I think back to growing up together you were always the top sister until that faithful day, I took your hair cover cap and WW3 started- Mom had to break us apart. That was my day of freedom LOL.
From then on, I didn't have to look behind me to see if you were coming for me.
We had our fights but, never lost the love we had for each other- they brought us even closer.
Here are a few more FOND memories:
-when we lived in West Orange, there were times when I would grab your hand and run like hell when the kids on the block were chasing us. You would say stop dragging me- now, I was the BIG sister.
-also, the year of Hurricane Floyd. I was dog sitting for a friend at her house. I called to see how you were doing and you started yelling that your basement was flooding. I gave a little chuckle, and you went off the wall. I said I didn't have to take that crap and slammed down the phone. Well, I forgot caller ID and you called back still yelling- LOL.
-next, on a snowy night, you went out on a date and didn't get home until 3:00AM. Dad waited for you which he never did and when you got home the voice of Dad was stern and angry. You just went to bed like nothing happened and I was one the stressed and couldn't sleep-LOL.
-lastly, when we would go shopping with Jen, we would make like we were tourists from a different country and speaking a made-up language even at the person at the register. We took pictures of us shopping and Jen would walk away from us.
So many memories to cherish Sissy and I will hold them in my heart forever.
I am thankful for you, and we will see each other again-get ready for those hugs.
Rest well Sissy and hugs to Jen for me.
Thank you for being my Sister and BEST Friend.
I LOVE you to the Moon and BEYOND!
No, I LOVE YOU more ❤️

My Dear Aunt Stephanie!
You were truly an AMAZING cousin and best friend/mentor to me ❤️
I will forever remember our weekend lunches at your house, our vacations in Cape May, and our shopping trips together.
We laughed and we cried happy tears whether we were caught in rain storms in Cape May, dodging trucks on Route 78 while traveling to Pennsylvania, our Arby runs (no judgement), you singing off key to Barry Manilow, Johnny Mathis, The Bee Gees, and our duet together of Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton’s “Islands In The Stream.”
I loved our drives together in that little blue bullet of yours. You found every curb, every pothole, every sink basin in the road- never a dull moment, ONLY FUN and LAUGHTER!
You will forever be my BRENDA and I, your BERNICE ❤️
