"The Greens created an extended family for me. Aunt Una was like a big sister to me. She was non-judgmental, always had something positive to say. Aunt Una was my confidant. I love her and will miss her. "

"I was a senior companion at Bishop Noa and lucky enough to have This Wonderful lady Named Una Green assigned.to me.First day i met her i thought she was a joy. We went to music, and she sang along with me. She taught me some rather funny songs, that she knew in her younger day.. That also raised a few eyebrows....HEHE. She was such a joy to be with and listen to her wonderful stories of growing up and the years she and her husband owned their restaurant. I am just so thankful that such a wonderful lady came into my life, i will always hold her dear in my Heart."

"My sincere condolence to you, Patti, to Karen, and your family, in the loss of your Mother Una. I just learned of her passing today, Sun05mar2017. Ironically on my sister Judy's birthday in heaven. I knew one day that your Mom's passing would come to be, but I didn't expect that I would miss the day in celebration of her life. I attended Mass Sunday-January 1st all by myself that day. I am normally not alone. I felt an urgency to be there, with or without someone. I hadn't been to Mass alone since I was about 16 years old. Turns out it was right in-between her two special days. I knew of neither at the time. Your Mom passed in your birthday month, and her day of honor was in my Mother's birthday month. She did New Year's up right. Out with the old, and in with the new. Now how cool as that, eh?! She out lived your Dad (1989), and both my parents (2004 and 2006). I will pay my respects after her burial in the Spring. My parents are resting very close by. Like the old days of same neighborhood. My parents, Bob & Rose Kidd and your parents, Herb & Una Green are finally all together again at that Shakey Lakes Campground in the sky. Having no doubt a good time as they always did. Luvin Hugz to Everyone with blessings, ~~Jan"
