PAM MY THOUGHTS ARE WITH YOU, LOVE REECE AND FAMILY.
I am very sorry to hear about the loss of your mother. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this very difficult time.
With Deepest Sympathy,
Theresa Vettese-Guinup
In Christ, we are relaxed and at peace in the midst of the confusions, bewilderments, and perplexities of this life. The storm rages, but our hearts are at rest. We have found peace — at last!
The LORD is near to all who call upon HIM…PSALM 145:18.
May GOD, who watches over us and hears us when we pray,
Be very near to give you strength and comfort you today-
May HE bless and keep you within HIS loving care,
And may it help you just to know that HE is always there.
I already miss you so much. I know you are happy and pain free now. I know you are with Grand Nanny and Pop. I LOVE YOU!!!
Dear Eleanor,
I’m so sorry to hear that your mom has died. My prayers have been with you all week. Our LORD answers prayers because one of mine was that you got there and spent time with your mom. That is a blessing that must be remembered. You and your family has been lifted up during these difficult days. You are sitting in the palm of HIS hand. You know that I love you and I will keep praying!
Love Brenda Lee
May you find peace in the knowledge that your mother is in a better place. God Bless you.
Dear family,
2Co 4:6 For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
7 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.
8 ¶ We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair;
We don’t have to sorrow, because Eleanor Nanny Page is as happy as she can be safe in the arms of Jesus and probably hand in hand with Bernie. She already went on ahead of us and we who are in Christ by faith are on our way.
1Th 4:13 ¶ But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.
14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.
15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.
16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
All My Love Always,
Jon Sr.
A Message From Mom Page Nanny
A brief moment of darkness
was all that I knew,
before Heaven’s Gate
came into my view.
Loved ones and friends
I had missed for many years,
welcomed me with open arms
and many happy tears.
All the hurt, fear and pain
that I have ever known,
is gone from my life,
I am finally home.
I gazed upon the Lord’s
sweet smiling face,
and for the first time in my life
I knew and felt His grace.
I know that you miss me,
but please dry your eyes.
I will always be watching and loving you
from my home in the sky.
A cool breeze on your face,
a touch of light rain,
I will send as a reminder
that we will be reunited again.
Life on earth is but one
brief moment in time,
I am finally home,
Eternity is mine.
May the Lord comfort you all, and the knowledge of the heaven she is in now give you joy and peace.
Our thoughts and prayers will be with you and your family.
Ms.Eleanor is in a much better place than we are and you are right we all will rejoice together again.
God bless you and your family.
Mom, I know we have been apart for many years, and I couldn’t always be near you, but you know I was always with you in spirit. There were many things you taught me, that will never be forgotten. I wish I could have been with you more, but as with life things missed can never be brought back. I want you to know that I love you and you will always be with me. Make sure you look for me in the future. I love and miss you so much, Eddie…..
Pam
Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Love Efrain, Sandie and the girls.
Pam, After going through this just 7 months ago, you know I’m there with you. Our moms shared the same birthday, therefore I will always also think of your mom too. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Love you Sherry, Ralph and Ralphie

I feel a warmth around me
like your presence is so near,
And I close my eyes to visualize

I recall the times we spent together
and they are locked inside my heart,
For as long as I have those memories
we will never be apart.
I Love You!

You were my mother-in-law for greater than 30 years, a part of my family. I am sorry I was not able to attend the service today but by reading all the wonderful things said, it was just like being there. You are gone from this earth but your memories will live on forever within all of us. No one can take those away. I am sorry for the missed opportunities. Who would have thought life would go by so fast? We always thought there would be tomorrow. I am happy though for the times we were able to get together and have many photos to remember these times. I think of you and cannot help but smile. Say hi to Nan, Pop Pop and Bernie. We know you are not alone up there! I love you and will miss you!
I am so grateful for thise times we were able to meet u in NJ and in Florida But I will always regret the time we did not get to spend with you. I love you and hope you are at peace and make sure you say to everyone up there. I also am glad you got a chance to meet my son Logan and I have pics so he can always know you. I wish you peace and god bless. I love you nannie
Mom,
I’m sorry it took so long to write something. I can’t seem to be able to express how much I hurt. I’m so glad you waited for me to get to Florida. Amara and I were blessed with the final hours we were able to spend with you. You would be very proud of Jackie. She did a GREAT job on the memorial service. You have a wonderful loving church family. I Love you Mom. Jackie, Jackie Jr. and Angel. Thanks for taking such great care of Momma. I love you all. Proud to sign, In Christ,
LITTLE Eleanor
I’m so glad we’ll be together in heaven. Until then Momma! Praise the Lord. Little El
Our prayers are with you and your family, as always. Den and Paula

To Jackie, Cheryl, El, Pam, Eddie and Walt –
Aunt Eleanor was and always will be a beautiful person who the Greene’s enjoyed each and every time she came to stay. I always thought of her as my “mini” honey-honey and know how much she loved me and my girls. I think your Uncle Skip got more excited when Aunt El was coming, then when I made my visit.
However you can do it, please find the strength to carry on as she would want you to, and I am certain she left some lasting memories to smile and laugh about in the future.
We love you guys!
Nan i miss you so much! ya know i almost made it down there to see you before you left us. I was only about 45 mins away. Atleast i got to talk to you on the phone. I love you and i hope you keep an eye on me and the rest of the family. Until the day we meet again I LOVE YOU NAN!!!
I will miss you and you will always be remembered..
Love you,
Mark LAfferty

Dear Jackie and family,
You have my deepest sympathy for the loss of your Mother. We know she is heaven now and feels no more pain. God Bless.
Nancy
God looked around his Garden and found an empty place.
He then looked down upon his earth and saw your loving face.
He put his arms around you and lifted you to rest.
His Garden must be beautiful, he always takes the best.
He knew that you were suffering, he knew you were in pain.
And knew that you would never get well on earth again.
He saw your path was difficult, he closed your tired eyes,
He whispered to you “Peace be Thine” and gave you wings to fly.
When we saw you sleeping so calm and free of pain,
We would not wish you back to earth to suffer once again.
You’ve left us precious memories, your love will be our guide,
You live on through your children, you’re always by our side.
It broke our hearts to lose you, but you did not go alone.
For part of us went with you on the day God called you home.
That is so true. Praise the Lord! He ALWAYS heals His children, if not on earth, then at homecoming.
I’m so sorry to hear of Eleanor’s passing so soon after her sister’s my mom Dorothy. My heart felt condolences go out to the family, especially Cheryl. I have recently felt what you are feeling and I regret you have to go through it. As my mother is, Eleanor is in a better place now.
Dearest Momma, Oh how very much I miss you. Thanks for the new job and the raise…You are the only person in THIS world that knew how much getting this particular job would mean to me and sorry I lied to you about getting a raise at work before you passed but I guess from where you are now that you found out that I told you I was making more $$ so you wouldn’t worry about us BUT “WOW” I never expected to really get that big of a raise. I actually think I heard you say “I’ll teach you to lie to me” and you made not only the raise real but also my ideal job. Now I just need a little help from our Glorious Lord to give me the strength and wisdom to deal with all the resistance from certain co-workers. THANKS SO MUCH MOMMA. I MISS YOU TERRIBLY BUT I KNOW THAT WE WILL BE TOGETHER AGAIN SOMEDAY UNTIL THEN…………I LOVE YOU WITH ALL OF MY HEART
