    Dear Grandma,

    You always called me “your little angel” and now you are my angel.

    I love you forever.

    Dear Cousin John and all the Rooney family,
    Our thoughts and prayers are with you all at this time.
    Helen may be out of sight but like my dad, Michael, she has merely gone over the horizon. She is watching over you all, still loving you, still praying for you and patiently waiting to be re-united with you.

    God Bless

    John Rooney, Vicky Rooney and all our children
