Tributes
"Dessie Montagna Dear Betsy, Steve, Chelsea and Courtney, We are so sorry for your loss and sadness and hope that her arms are surrounding you from a wonderful and happy place - comforting you as she no doubt would have done in person if you were sad. I know your mom must have been a wonderful person, Betsy, because you are one of the warmest and kindest people I know - and they say the apple doesn't fall far. Steve, I'm sure you will miss her a lot as she welcomed you into her heart as a son and clearly she was another mom to you. You got your second chance to have a mom in your life. And she lived a good and long one. Chelsea and Courtney - you had the best of her, though the shortest time. But she will stay with you and guide you when you ask for help and laugh with you and hug you whenever you need it - till you all meet again. Much love, Dessie, Frank and Katrina The butterfly emerges from its silken shell- Reborn, it arises, no longer bound to earth. Free at last, the butterfly glides to heights unknown before. So do our loved ones find a beautiful release as, earthbound no more, they leave our sight and joyfully rise to a garden of matchless beauty, a place of light and peace. -Evelyn Phillips"

"Mike Keymel Relation to Deceased: son Mom I couldn't have asked for a better mother. You were always there for me whenever I needed you. No matter what you stood behind me. I'm happy to know I didn't cause you too much grief :) You weren't just a mother, you were my friend. I'll always miss your smile. Next time we meet, you better have that bottle of Asti ready :) I hope you are enjoying your family reunion. Love always and forever.......... Mikey"
"Paula Principe Relation to Deceased: Great-niece I have several wonderful memories of Aunt Margaret, one in particular was when I had a ladies get-together with Aunt Helen, Aunt Blanche and Aunt Margaret. My son Josh was only a toddler then but he insisted on sitting next to Aunt Margaret..it was so sweet. Aunt Margaret just loved that. What a genuinely, sweet and loving woman Aunt Margaret was. I will miss her very much. The butterfly emerges from its silken shell- Reborn, it arises, no longer bound to earth. Free at last, the butterfly glides to heights unknown before.

"Antonia Carfagna Relation to Deceased: Friend I will always remember Mrs. Keymel's very warm smile and soft and gentle spirit. She will be missed by many - she will live forever in the hearts she touched. I think no matter where you stray, That I shall go with you a way. Though you may wander sweeter lands, You will not forget my hands, Nor yet the way I held my head Nor the tremulous things I said. You will still see me, small and white And smiling, in the secret night, And feel my arms about you when The day comes fluttering back again. I think, no matter where you be, You'll hold me in your memory And keep my image there without me, By telling later loves about me. Dorothy Parker"
