Steve,
Sorry for your loss. Your family is in my thoughts.

Always difficult when a mom passes. I KNOW you have tons of pictures of her to keep her spirit and thoughts with you all. Steve, we'll have a drink in in memory of all those who have gone before us on board the cruise ship. She sounded like pioneer stock to me. Strong, determined, focused.

Sorry for your family's loss.

(Well written obit. Did you write it?)

Steve, Grandma made a good long run at life and has now won the battle. May you and all of her family and friends be given the courage to carry on for her.

she might have gotten a ups parade at the funeral today if the nearby meadowlands facility opened its gates at the right time. Sorry for your loss steve. Was your mother in law one of the many "exiled" cubans hoping that fidel would kick the bucket ?

One of many. I'll have to play an excerpt from a video I made of her. She was telling stories of growing up and moving away from Cuba.

I'm very sorry for your loss Steve.

Say not in grief that she is no more
but say in thankfulness that she was
A death is not the extinguishing of a light,
but the putting out of the lamp
because the dawn has come.

Steve, so sorry for your family's loss. She must have been a remarkable woman. Heartfelt thoughts and prayers to you and yours.

My Wife just walked in the door, from her trip to pay her respects to her Grandmother. I asked her to sit here and read all of your kind words. She appreciates your thoughts and kindness. She also said that Grandma received a Presidential police escort for the funeral. She was amazed that streets and even highways were shut down, to make way for her Grandmother's body. May she rest in peace. Thank you all for your kind words that brought cheer to my wife in this sad time.


STEVE!
