We miss you terribly Granny. You will be with us always.
Thank you mom for being so special. You were always there for anyone who needed your help. You will be with us always and our love for you will never end. You were the best Mom, Mother-in-law, Grandma, Great Grandma and a friend to many. Ted could not love you any more than if you were his Mom. Rest in Peace Dear Lady as you deserve it.
I have had the great pleasure of meeting your Mother. You are all so fortunate to have so many very happy memories of her. You are also very fortunate to have had her for the time you did. She was a very dear person who I will always remember with love..............
Irene, Ted and family..I am sorry for your loss. I know you were truly blessed with your Mom for the many wonderful years you had. May you find comfort in these memories.
My love and thoughts and prayers go to you and your family, Irene. You mom was fortunate to have someone like you to love her so much. "TIME passes, MEMORIES last!" Love, Lois
may she rest in peace ^|^
I never met the dear Mother of my e-buddy Irene, but I know the earth is a bit the worse for her passing.
A very lovely lady. I didn't know her personally But feel that I knew her a little. I'm sure she will be missed by all who knew her.
A true woman of valor. So many lives were touched by her. What a wonderful legacy for you all.
Dear Irene and family, I didn't know your dear Granny, but it was lovely to see her sweet face on this memorial. I am so sorry for your loss. Love, Treacy (Irene's e-mail friend)
Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
A lovely tribute to a lovely lady. No more suffering, no more pain; she now rests, in peace, with God. My prayers are with you all! Your cousin, Michael
We will miss your smiling face and beautiful blue eyes on Thursday mornings.

Our sincere condolences for your loss. Our prayers are with you and your family during these times. As we do for all our family and friends, a candle will burn at St. Ann's Parish here in Providence, Rhode Island for one year to honor and pray for the departed souls.
What a lovely picture of your Mother, Irene & Ted. And it is a nice idea this book. God Bless you all.
Debbie, My heartfelt condolences to you and your family. The passing of a loved one is hard on those who cared so deeply for that individual. My prayers and thoughts are with you during this time of sorrow.
Our prayers are with you and yours at this very sad time
God knows that you are a great lady, for your daughter namesake reflects you as a person, not just a carbon copy physically. Through that daughter I feel I know you. In so many ways, in your life as in your dying was like my little German Momma's. Now you can rest your head on Jesus' knee to take a peaceful slumber. We rejoice with you in being called home to God and, your husband, family and all your loved ones. You taught your daughter well, "It is in giving that we receive." She is always giving of herself to others as you led her to know and profit from.Your life is a tribute to all who were blessed to know you and your dear daughter, Irene. I know Irene, the younger doesn't like the song, LOL, but there is one final chorus of "Good night, Irene. Good night Irene, We'll see you in our dreams." Now there is an Angel Irene to help guide her family and friends. Oiche mhaith, Irene. 0;-)
Irene, I met your mother in Las Vagas and what a delightful person she was just wish I could of known her better. Blessings to all of you. JOY
Deb, I know how you love your grandmothers, so I am sorry she is gone. What a lovely woman her picture shows her to be.And the coments made by those who knew her give you memories to treasure. MB
I will pray for the repose of her soul, and I will ask God to take good care of her. Jean
Good Night, Sweet Lady, And Flights Of Angels Sing Thee To Thy Rest
Debbie, I am so very sorry for your loss. I know this is a sad time for you and your family. But you will always have the wonderful memories of her in your hearts.When someone is in our heart they are never truly gone from us. My sympathies to you all
Debbie, I am sure that granny would be pleased. You did a great job both for her and on the web page. Just remember that there are those of us out here that love you and carrying you and yours in our hearts and prayers. Just know that she is in a far better place. This I know to be true. {{{{{{{Deb & Family}}}}}}}
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family, Debbie.
BOB DEBBIE AND THE KIDS SORRY TO HEAR ABOUT YOUR LOSS, MY HEART GOES OUT TO THE FAMILY. GRANNY WAS A DEAR LADY AND THOUGHTS OF HER OUR ALWAYS IN OUR HEARTS.
Dear Irene, Ted and Family, Your Mom was a beautiful lady. She has gone from you, but the bond which unites your soul can never be severed, her image lives in your heart. Now she is at peace and gone to a better place where God has welcomed her, He set her free. Irene, I have not had the pleasure of meeting you, Ted or your Mom and that is my loss. May our caring thoughts comfort you and your family at this time of great loss. With Sincerest Sympathy, Rosemary and Bud Pistorio
I am very pleased I was able to meet "Granny". She was a remarkable woman. My sincerest sympathy. With Aloha, Darlyne
Remmber the good days when you were all together.
I have a picture of my grandmother along with a letter I wrote to her when she passed away. Both are framed and on the wall in my livingroom. When sadness or despair seem to knock at the door, I look at those and remember all the wonderful times we had together, laughing and being with family and I can swear I hear her voice telling me that things aren't so bad. I know I will see her again and that she is waiting for me and things don't hurt quite as much. God Bless You...and remember that those we love are never truly gone. They live forever in our hearts until they meet us on the other side. Maureen
We will sing, but we will miss her there will be one vacent chair. We will linger to caress her as we breath our evening prayer.
My thoughts and prayers are with you.
May you rest in peace in Heaven.
Irene, Ted, and Family I hadn't had the pleasure of meeting your mom/grandma, but judging by the warm, compassionate, caring person I know her daughter to be, she must have been an incredible lady who left behind a wonderful family. Although we mourn the loss of her here on earth, we can rejoice knowing she is with our Heavenly Father. Please know my heartfelt prayers are with you, as I feel genuine sorrow for your loss, and pray to Our Father in Heaven to bring you peace.
My heart goes out to you and your whole family.
Irene, this is beautiful. You did good and your Mom would be proud of you. Luv ya, Ginny

What a lovely tribute to "Granny." Our heartfelt sympathies are with you and your family. We're know "Granny" has made a profound mark on all your lives as well as those of us who had the privilege of knowing her. May you always have happy memories of the life you have shared with her. Hugs
I knew her only briefly, but liked her. She and Irene had a loving relationship.Irene and her husband can be proud of their care of her.
I ONLY KNEW YOUR MOM THROUGH BOWLING . MOMS ARE WONDERFUL PEOPLE AND SHE IS NOW RESTING IN A PLACE WITH NO PAIN OR WORRIES. MY CONDOLENCES TO YOUR FAMILY.
I am very sorry that you have experienced this tragic loss. Please let me know if there is anything that I can do for you.
Glo and I both will miss your mother deeply. We enjoyed talking to her on Thursday mornings. She was a fine and elegant woman. May God Bless.
Our Thoughts and prayers are with you. You did your very best Irene. No more pain She is in Heaven. My Heart goues out to you and the family.
It gives me comfort knowing your mom is up there watching over us, We'll miss her.
I am so sorry to heard about your mom. Hope you and your husband are ok, if you should need any thing please let me know, ramona
To read about Irene's Mom it seems that I have known her May God Bless the whole family.
May God hold you in his arms and comfort you with His peace in your time of grief. I will remember Granny in my heart and in my prayers. She is with my Lord and Savior, I know, and has no more pain; only joy, love, and completeness now to her soul. May your pain heal, and be replaced with fond memories and happiness of all she was to you and to all of us that love her... In Christ, Patty Seastrom
Granny was a very special person. She contributed many things to this world while she was here. Now, she is gone to make a place for the rest of us. We will miss her.
Debbie and Family -- My deepest condolences go out to you in your time of loss.
To a Grand lady who had wonderful children. The legacy of her love is her children and their beautiful children!
This was so nice Irene would love to do this for Vic when he passes on .
I extend to you and all your family my deepest sympathy. I lost my own mother not long ago and know all too well those feelings of which you spoke. I was touched by your story of the flowers and the plants. I too received a few plants that were Mom's favorite, though the people sending them had no way of knowing that. You will see more little "coincidences" like that over the next few months and you will smile. It is almost like the Grannys are sending us a message to let us know they are ok. She will live on in her children, grandchildren and friends. I wish you Peace.
Dear Irene and Family: I didn't know this lovely lady but she sure was lucky to have such a wonderful daughter like you. Remember all the good times and she will be in your heart always........Love, Elsie (Irene's E-mail friend)
Since you had stated that you really didn't want any sympathy cards let us simply say our prayers are with you.
Heaven is blessed with another angel.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you in this time of need.
Your memories will keep her alive. Cherish them always. Love to you, Nancy
May she rest in peace.
We are saddened by your loss.
We are saddened by your loss.
God Bless
Ted and Irene, I'm terribly sorry for your loss and can truly empathize with you in light of my family's situation. Your mother will be in my prayers this holiday season. God Bless. Jude
Dear Irene, I am really sorry to hear about the passing away of your Mom. I was away on vacation so did not know. The Lord give you the peace that passeth all understanding at this time. You have been a wonderful daughter who loved and cared for her Mom through so many traumatic situations. Your children and grandchildren have learnt a lot from you. The little I know of your Mom, from you, tells me what a "great lady" she was. It is now her time to rest at the feet of her Master....her work here is done. We have the peace that we will see her again on that beautiful shore, where she will be waiting for us. Remembering you all in my prayers. Luv your friend from India, Mercy
God looked around his garden and found an empty place He then looked down upon the earth, and saw your tired face. He put his arms around you and lifted you to rest. God's garden must be beautiful He always takes the best. He knew that you were suffering He knew you were in pain He knew that you would never get well on earth again. He saw the road was getting rough, and the hills were hard to climb. So he closed your weary eyelids, and whispered "Peace by thine." It broke our hearts to lose you but you didn't go alone For part of us went with you The day God called you home. Oct. 29.2000

The circle of flowers is like a circle of friends, this circle has no end. And thats how long we will keep Granny in our hearts. As some of us may not have had the chance to know her, we were told she was a very SPECIAL LADY. Our hearts go out to the family.
Ted & Irene, Those were the days when you were the 3 musketeer's. Remember them well as memories cannot be lost or misplaced.
I share in your loss. We lost our very own "Gram" just a few years ago, but her memory and her legacy lives on in our hearts just as your "Granny" does in yours. These people were so special in our lives, weren't they? Always in our hearts and in our prayers.
What a beautiful tribute to a wonderful person..Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you..
I know by title your were my Mother-in-law, but in my heart, you will always be my Mom. Gone but not forgotten A precious one from us has gone, A voice we loved is stilled; A place is vacant in our home, Which never can be filled. God in His wisdom has recalled, The boom His love has given, And though the body slumbers here, The sould is safe in heaven.
Our lives were brighter when we meet you, We enjoyed the times that were spent. You are turly missed.
Your Beloved Mom is with Jesus, where she is MORE ALIVE! there than ever before: saying to her family: YES! THE BEST IS YET TO COME! YOU WILL SEE! AMEN...GOD BLESS YOU ALL!!!
What a wonderful picture!! What a wonderful tribute to a very special person...
Kevin and Elizabeth Murphy and boys
Hope you are all getting along alright. I am thankful for the opportunity I had to meet your Mother. She was a neat and very special lady. Our condolences go out to all of you.
Our hearts go out to you, Debbie, Bob, Sarah, Robin and Robert, and to the rest of your family and friends who are so grieved at Granny's passing. Thank you, Debbie, for allowing us to finally meet your grandmother through this Memory Book. She was a lovely lady and obviously well loved by those who knew her.
Irene this is a beautiful tribute to your loveing mother. I am sure she would have loved it. I didn't send a card because you sdaid not to, but I want you to know that you and your family are in my thoughts and prayes. Luv ya, Ginny
My prayers have been with you all during these past hard months.............know that she is with the Lord and at peace................Love to you all........
To the family of Mrs. Irene Desimone(Granny), She was a wonderful, strong, caring person. She worried about me sometimes, more than I wooried about her. She always had a smile no matter what she came in to see me for.My nurses look forward to seeing her at the clinic, as much as I did. I will definitely miss her.
I never had a chance to meet Granny Irene, but I got to know a lot about the love her daughter Irene and all the family shared for her. She must have been a wonderful person.. or better, she is wonderful and will forever be so now. With sympathy
Big Irene and Little Irene are part of my history and good memories. We go back a long way- to the days of Mayville Gear and poodle skirts. I love the picture. I will keep Irene's memorial with my Mom's. Big Irene and Jo are probably hanging out together again and talking about us.
Thinking of you in your time of sorrow. Your friend in Japan, Yoshiko
Irene, you and your family have my love and prayers as you grieve the loss of your dear mother. Fortunately, her sweet character will continue to enfluence the world because she has shaped each of you in her image. You will continue her presence in the lives of all those you touch with kindness for the rest of your own lives.
Dear Irene,Ted and Family,--It just doesn't seem to sink in--we thought she would last forever. Granny will be so terribly missed but oh , what a legacy she leaves behind. We will remember you in our prayers. Love to all.
heartfelt sympathy to all family members on the tragic loss of ~"Granny".
I was really sorry to hear about your mom and I know it is very hard. Just keep praying and the Lord will help you thru it. Best wishes Jane
The Elliott Family wishes you the best of this Thanksgiving Season. We share your sadness as well with the loss of Irene's mom. This will be our first Thanksgiving without Genie's dad, but her mom will be visited all through the Holiday season by her children and their families, so we hope cheer will be evident. Thank you for your kind wishes, hope your holiday is bright. The Elliott Family, Tallahassee FL
Dear Granny, Now that you are in Heaven, those of us still down here would appreciate hearing what God and the angels think of Irene's Christmas decorations, would you please take a moment and inquire, when we meet you later we will be asking. Thanks for letting us write to you, neither of us have Grandparents down here anymore, and we have missed saying the word "Granny."
We will always love and miss Granny, and she will forever live on in our hearts. She was a wonderful Grandmother and Great-Grandmother.
I loved my Granny very much, and I will truly miss her.
I loved her and I will miss her very much. She was a wonderful and giving Grandmother.
I loved Granny very much and I miss her sooo much... she was the best great-grandmother!!
This is a letter that I had sent to your Granny's daughter, Irene and was requested to add it to your Guest book in memory of your dear Granny. Irene, I know it has taken me longer than most to acknowledge to you the passing of your wonderful mother. You have no regrets, I am sure and I am also more than sure you miss her everyday and think of what more you wanted to say to her and ask her and tell her in your everyday life. Even when she was ill, I am sure you shared a bond that no one else would know but a mother and child. It has been 6 1/2 years and I miss my mother still. I know she is still "with me" and that is comforting. I still "talk" to her every day. Sounds silly maybe to you but I have gone to 3 psychics and said nothing to them. One was a psychic artist, one a medium and the other a trusted psychic with a wonderful reputation. Each one told me my mother was with me. The artist described her to a tee with her habits and passed a message on to me and they were my mother's words (no doubt) and she drew my mother. Whether real or not, I felt good after it. BUT I know through my religious side that my mother will always be with me guiding me throughout my life. I find myself doing things and realizing I am doing them just as my mother would have or even in the same way she would have done them, also without complaint because as a mother ourselves, we know, we have to do things whether we want to or not. It is part of our job but we have our mothers and their mothers before them that passed on to us "how to do the job and get it done". I am quite certain you understand all this and have felt the same. You are a very special person to know on the net and it never ceases to amaze me how miraculous life has become in being able to open our worlds further and "finding" and "meeting" wonderful people throughout the world via the "magic" of the internet. It is truly "magic" and as close to it as we will ever come except for the "magic" as we know it in how God helps us and guides us throughout this life. I am sending you my thoughts, love and condolences. You have your reward and your mother (and your dear animals) waiting for you beyond this earth. I am not a religious "freak", just a Catholic that could not live without this knowledge enabling me to go on with life knowing what is in store. Love to you Irene and I see you are getting back into the swing of things on the net. Life does go on. Love, Karin A. Joyce Arlington, MA
your mother must have been a great lady and loved by you all. may she rest in peace.my prayers are with you all---buddy mcgee
I hope that God has granted you peace for eternity.
A lovely tribute to your Mother. Irene you are a wonderful daughter to her and you were blessed for having a mom for so long. SHe is at peace now and with others that have passed before her.
I did not know your Mom Irene but i'm sure she left behind many good memories of being with you and your family that you will remember for a lifetime.
Sweet Page
Although I didn't know you, I do know your grand-daughter Debbie. Seeing as how wonderful she is, I can just imagine how special you were. I will keep you and your family in my thoughts & prayers and may God take care of you.
Dear Irene and family, A lovely tribute to a well loved and dearly missed lady. Know that Granny's spirit to with you.
Dear Irene and family, A lovely tribute to a well loved and dearly missed lady. Know that Granny's spirit is with you.
A rose in bloom for enternity. God bless you and keep you in his loving arms. When the sun shines we'll know its you pushing the clouds away for it to come thru :)
What a beautiful site dedicated to your Mom. No one will ever fill the empty place in our hearts. May we live our lives as a shrine to these Mother's God blessed us with. When any of my friends lost their Mom my Mother always said "you've lost the best friend you'll ever have." Truer words were never spoken. My birthday is May 31 except mine is Gemini Twin 38, lol
She looks like she was a lovely person. What a sweet, dear face.
A lovely tribute, your mother had such a sweet face and I know you all still miss her very much. Thanks for sharing.
What a beautiful lady -- and I can see why, at times, some referred to you as "Tiger!"
I know you were a wonderful person and well loved..RIP...in time the gap you have left will heal and your family will be with you again!
I can't remember who said this, but I'll try to quote it. The quote won't be verbatim.I thought of it when I seen her picture. 'Great people learn to tolerate only productive anxiety from their trip through life.They make the hurt and sadness in life work for them instead of against them.' The essence of that is in her off springs.
Jesus knew what He was doing when He blessed us with Mothers....I have always heard that a good Mother was in line behind Jesus....Be blessed that you had a good one, I did too.
Though our encounter in this life was but one time, you made a lasting impression that will be forever in my heart. God bless you till we meet again.
The above memories were moved to our new server on October 20, 2008. It has been nearly eight years since we lost Granny, but we still miss her.
