Sorry it's taken me a while to write dad but I still haven't accepted the fact that you're gone. I'm really going to miss you. When my daugher is born, I'll make sure to tell her all about her Papa and I know that Connor will never forget you. He still points downstairs asking for Bo. (I think that's what he thought your name was :) Please know that I love you VERY MUCH and I will always be your little girl. XOXOXO

Dear Christine and Colleen:

We are so very sorry for your loss. He was a great friend to both of us. We have wonderful memories of Skip in our high school days and even after. He was so much fun to be with and always made us laugh. He was best man at our wedding in 1977. We think of him all the time even though we haven't kept in touch. He will be missed.

To "Skip's" girls, Aunt Gladys, Brian, David, Robert and Ronnie,

I was deeply saddened to hear of "Skippy's" death. I am so thankful that we had the opportunity to catch up at the reunion last month. It was wonderful seeing everyone and sharing childhood memories of times spent visiting my cousins in Brockton. To Colleen and Christina, we have never meet, but your dad spoke of you with pride. Take comfort in knowing how proud he was of his daughters. I will always cheerish my memories of Skip.

You are in my family's thoughts and prayers.

With Love,
Your cousin, Betty
