Mommy was an unbelievably kind, caring and strong woman. Her love was unexplainable, her heart was indescribable and her commitment to others was impeccable. Nana lived and dedicated each day for her two precious granddaughters and couldn't say enough about how much she loved them. She touched the hearts of everyone who met her, all of her kids' friends called her mom and her co-workers always called her friend. Jona's caring spirit and loving kindness will be deeply missed. Everyone who had the pleasure of acquainting themselves with her strived to be like her.
Mommy, we'll miss the late-night talks, the sarcastic comments and even the complaining. We all love you more than we can say, and we'll carry a piece of you with us for the rest of our lives. B, I'll miss your love and caring for me forever in my heart.

A poem in Cynthia's memory:
I'm not here, don't stand by my grave and weep.
For I'm not there, I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow, I am the diamond's glint on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain, I am the gentle autumn's rain.
When you awaken in morning's hush, I am the swift, uplifting rush.
O quiet birds in circle flight, I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry, I am not there, I did not die.
