Dear Russell, Jackie, Jimmie and Pauline,
I have sent my condolences over the telephone to Conley Funeral Home because the Funeral Home's Guest Book would not accept my message via the Internet. The lady at Conley was so gracious and did her best to type my message. However, I need to send my thoughts of your dear mother via the Brockton newspaper, because I want you to be sure you know of my sorrow. You don't remember me, I’m sure but I minded you so often when you were very young and I was still in elementary school and high school. Your mom was so special to me, and I've never forgotten her. I can't be in Fall River for the funeral, but I will be there in thought. I will attend Mass in my own Parish. With sincere sympathy, I am, Claire
