Dear Fran.... It is with heavy heart I write this today.

I so enjoyed all our time together, you opened your home to me when my Mom passed.  Then for the last ten years or so we enjoyed Christmas Eve together... last was the best not only with Lynda, but Dan & Nat and girls joined us at my new little house.  
You and  I  always laughed at stupid little things when we were together.  You are a Very Special Lady.  Really going to miss your smile girl and watching your eyes light up when you spotted me. 
p.s.  think I heard some glasses tinkling from above last night?  laughter and something about green beer..

"Lynda my very dear friend"          
 My sincerest condolences to You,  Chris(Emily) Sabrina(Jeff & Ella)

 Your Mom is finally at peace.  No more pain, confusion or struggle to just be in the moment.  Your Mom told me repeatedly those last 4 years "You were her Angel"  with out you she would not be here!    The hand dealt to her and you ultimately at the end was premature,  she knew it and fought vigorously.    I so admire your determination at every corner to be there for her.  You are a awesome giving person, your Mom was very very proud of you as are her many friends at the Monastery.
Dear heart.. ……..No more picnic lunches at the Marina
                                     No more dance nights on Saturday, when Florence played...    
                                             you girls cut the rug! amazing!!
                                     No more outings to Old Chelsea for ice cream and to visit your 
                                             dad.
                                      No more trips to Sunday Mass in Quyon when Danny was 
                                              serving.
                                       No more talking her thru putting on her nighty and what to do
                                                next and why when ever you were away.

You made things happen for your Mom and she knew it!  

Love Arlene

My deepest condolences to all of you on the passing of your sweet mom.  We will forever remember the Turner bell at the back door.  Such fond childhood memories.  Love to all.  Karen Shea 

It's been many, many years since I last saw any of you.   

I just want to tell you that scrolling through the  pictures that you posted brought so many smiles to me as they gave me flashbacks of our childhoods together.  I will NEVER forget the laughs and giggles we had as kids and the wonderful lives we led.   

Most importantly, it seemed that no matter how many times your back door would open and close, kids (many, many kids)  would wander in and out, and your mom would ALWAYS turn around, greeting each and every one of us with a smile on her face.   Not only that but I can remember times that she would bend down, touch my shoulders, look me in the eyes and ask me how I was doing!  It always made me feel so special!!

My thoughts, prayers and heartfelt condolences are with you all of you.  Even though I can't be there with you in this time of loss, please know that I am with you in spirit.....
