My Mom was the greatest mother anyone could have. I just wish someone would have notified me. I was not even mentioned in the obituary. I wish I could have seen her before she passed. My love to my Mom. Ted Copperman
JoAnn and family, sorry for your loss, but pleased you had good times together. God bless you.
I can still remember when I lived with Aunt Betty as a child, playing baseball with Sharon, swinging on the vines in the backyard, scared to death of the geese that seemed to like chasing me and Aunt Betty lauging at me and telling me that the geese wouldn’t hurt me. I’m so thankful that I had the chance to see her on my last visit to family in PA. She had more energy then most people half her age and she was such a positive person given the sorrow she suffered during her life. I Love you Aunt Betty and I hope this new journey will be filled with joy and happiness
Remembering the times swimming in Mrs.Copprtman’s Pool in Hinckley with Sharon and teaching Chrissy to swim. Memories are precious
when they’re made
with those we love.
May the winds of love blow softly
And whisper so you’ll hear.
My Prayers are with the family. God Bless
Grandma and I would be together every Monday for the last 15 years. We laughed, we cried, we shopped. Mondays will be alot different now.
You can shed tears that Grandma is gone
or you can smile because she has lived.
You can close your eyes and pray that she’ll come back
or you can open your eyes and see all she’s left.
… Your heart can be empty because you can’t see her
or you can be full of the love you shared.
You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday
or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday.
You can remember her and only that she’s gone
or you can cherish her memory and let it live on.
You can cry and close your mind, be empty and turn your back
or you can do what she’d want: smile, open your eyes, love and go on.
Rest in Peace Grandma, we will miss you.
Mom was many things to me, a “Mom” in every sense of the word, a friend, someone who I had many laughs and sad times with, and such a special lady.
She is in God’s hands now for this we can all be thankful. A Special thanks to her loving niece Chris Pasek, God bless you for all you did for Mom.
We’ve lost a dear friend and family member, and heaven has welcomed her home.
My thoughts and prayers go out the the family. She is now in a better place, she lived a good long life. Now she is in gods hands, God Bless
