Dear Marion, Grace, Aileen and Charlie,
My name is Terry and I knew both your grandparents - when they lived here in Hampton. I used to clean house for them - your grandfather gave my son, who came with me, a box of cereal everytime - so he always called him the "Cereal Man"! I loved spending time with them and was sorry when they left, but knew it was necessary. I can tell you that they loved all of you very much and you were the heart and soul of their lives. They had so many friends here - many of them are now gone too - Jeanne Treacy was a beloved friend of mine too. I am sorry that I will not get to see you, but please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you. I know they are now together in heaven and smiling down on all of you.
Sincerely,
Terry Elhajj
