Pam , Billy,and Family:
I am so sorry and very sad to hear about the loss of your mother and my long time friend. Your Mom was the greatest and will be missed so much by all!. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. May memories of happy times spent with your mother/grandmother help wash away the sorrow you feel today. I know how hard it is to say goodby to one's mother. With deepest sympathy,

Pam and Billy,
I want to extend my deepest sympathy to you both and your families. It is so sad to see Sandy's death come so soon after my brother's. I will always remember holidays and celebrations with Joe and Sandy at my home in Lakeville. I know she loved you both and always talked about you. May you all be at peace. I am truly sorry for your loss. Joe's sister
