I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. Chris was a wonderful woman. I was lucky enough to have known the Magno family for a few years, unfortunately we did not keep in touch and it saddens me deeply. She is missed, and loved by all that knew her. I love you.

Chris, you got along with everyone and everyone. You were a very good family friend of ours. I remember when you used to invite me and mom over. We would sit there and talk, and dance and eat and all have a good time. We all miss you. RIP. :)

Grandma, There's so much to say that i don't know where to begin it.. I miss you alott, & I dont know why, but for some reason i just can't believe your not here with us anymore. My head's telling me thatt your still alive because its so hard to forget someone so rare and precious as you. You came to me with opened arm's 5 years ago and was there eversince. Even though your my step grandma, I see you as my blood-related grandma because i never really had a grandma that was there for me and made me feel so important. Even though your not here with us, You'll always be alive in my heart, I love you & i miss you and i know that we'll meet again one day<3

Sha-la-la-la-la, sha-la-la-la-la
You used to call me your angel
Said I was sent straight down from heaven
You'd hold me close in your arms
I loved the way you felt so strong
I never wanted you to leave
I wanted you to stay here holding me
I miss you
I miss your smile
And I still shed a tear
Every once in a while
And even though it's different now
You're still here somehow
My heart won't let you go
And I need you to know
I miss you, sha la la la la
I miss you
You used to call me your dreamer
And now I'm living out my dream
Oh how I wish you could see
Everything that's happening for me
I'm thinking back on the past
It's true that time is flying by too fast
I miss you
I miss your smile
And I still shed a tear
Every once in a while
And even though it's different now
You're still here somehow
My heart won't let you go
And I need you to know
I miss you, sha la la la la
I miss you
I know you're in a better place, yeah
But I wish that I could see your face, oh
I know you're where you need to be
Even though it's not here with me
I miss you
I miss your smile
And I still shed a tear
Every once in a while
And even though it's different now
You're still here somehow
My heart won't let you go
And I need you to know
I miss you, sha la la la la
I miss you
I miss you
I miss your smile
And I still shed a tear
Every once in a while
And even though it's different now
You're still here somehow
My heart won't let you go
And I need you to know
I miss you, sha la la la la
I miss you
(I miss you)

Mom, I loved you yesterday, I love you tomorrow and everyday. You were there for me my first day of school, to hold my hand and give me courage to go. You listened to me when I needed to talk, you talked to me when I needed to listen. You let me grow and learn from my own mistakes. You never left my side when I was feeling down, I knew you would be there to pick me up. I wish there was a way I could repay all the things you have done for me, but there’s nothing great enough to repay the greatest mother of all..HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY. I Love u always and forever
