I'm so sorry for the loss of your Mother/Mother In Law. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your families. Since I don't receive the Brockton Enterprise, sometimes it seems like I'm worlds away over here in Easton, I'm sorry I wasn't able to make it to the service. We're coming up on the one year anniversary of my Mother's passing. You know, I talk to her every night, but she hasn't exactly talked back to me. I figure she's just busy keeping her family in line and cooking those big Italian meals. Again, you made things much easier for my family at a very difficult time. I'll be stopping by in the near future with my father to finalize his arrangements

Take care of yourself,

Mr. Waitt, Lisa, Greg & family,

I was very sad to hear of Mrs. Waitt's passing. I was first introduced to your family many years ago when I worked for Dr. Jack Spillane. Ironically I was reading his obitunary when I saw Mrs. Waitt's photograph, that familar smile.

She was such a lovely woman to talk to. You could tell how much she loved her family. She loved working with her husband and was so proud of her family. I remember her telling me one day of her children's accomplishments and I complimented her on the job she and Mr. Waitt did raising them, she told me one of the best things she had ever bought her children was their own desk. Their desk gave them their own space to focus on their studies she told me, a good foundation. She was a very wise woman.

I pass your home almost on a daily basis and I think of you often with fond memories. You are a wonderful family and an assett to the local community.

With my love and sympathy,

Teresa Meade McIntosh

Lisa,
I just heard of the passing of your Mom. I have fond memories of going over to your house after attending Howard School. Your Mom would make beautiful clothes for you. As we were playing, she would have you come in and she would quickly measure the length of your arm, or your leg. I remember being envious of your pretty outfits!

Treasure your memories. I will keep your family in my prayers.
