    Today we laid my beautiful grandmother to rest. It was one of the hardest days since my mother's passing, yet one of the most beautiful. Surrounded by my family, stories, and love, we celebrated the life of a woman whose strength, wisdom, and grace touched everyone she met. Her funeral was filled with warmth, tears, laughter, and moments that reminded us just how special she truly was. Every word spoken, every flower laid, and every embrace shared was a reflection of the incredible person she was. As we said goodbye one last time, I couldn't help but feel her presence and it reminded me that her spirit will always be with us. Thank you, Grandma, for your love, your guidance, and the beautiful legacy you've left behind. You will forever live in our hearts. 💐🕊️Love Stacey

    Natalie was a woman who lost her husband, a son and a daughter and stayed strong for the family. She was a true Matriarch. She's with Danny, Judith and Richard now . Watch over us . You will be missed. Jeff

     My grandmother was the kind of woman whose presence filled the room, not because she demanded attention, but because her strength and grace quietly drew everyone in.     She wasn't just beautiful on the outside, her beauty shone most through her kindness, her words, and the way she made you feel truly seen. She taught me that strength doesn't always roar. Sometimes it's the quiet endurance, the ability to keep loving, giving, and believing even when life gets hard. Her advice always stopped me in my tracks not always what I wanted to hear but it was as if she could see life from a higher place, with clarity and compassion that only she had. Her beauty wasn't just something you saw, it was something you felt when she hugged you, encouraged you, or simply looked at you with love. She built more than a family, she built a foundation of love and strength that will hold us forever. Even though she's gone, her presence remains in the lessons she taught, in the love she gave, and in the strength she passed down to each of us. If you ever met her, you carried a piece of her wisdom with you and that's the kind of forever she leaves behind. She's the one I called for everything. I've gained another angel to watch over me and she will always hold a special place in my heart forever. I love you Grandma and will deeply miss you. Another hole in my heart. Love you always your Shortcake. (Stacey)

    Natalie could "hold court" in a room and tell the most fascinating stories. She had style and was always delightful to spend time with. We will miss her very much in Tahanto💋

    Thinking of all the Leary's... Mrs. Leary was a class act with a dash of "what a hoot" thrown in! I loved chatting with her... she was a wonderful & witty conversationalist... & her avatar text posts were a riot!
