GABBY-
It's very hard to put into words how much Kevin & I miss you. Although the house seems emptier, our hearts are full from all the love you gave us. It's sad to see your chair at the end of the table empty, but we can still hear your laugh. I loved your laugh! My only prayer is that you're finally dancing with your gal! Give Nana a kiss from me and know that I loved you with all my heart. God bless.

Gabby,
There are so many memories, I remember the first time I stayed up to ring in the new year with Sheryl and you and Nana at the apartment in Braintree, and all the years we had "kids day" at the house in Carver. You will always have a special place in all our hearts, with much love, to a wonderful, caring Grandfather.
Love,
Laura

Dear Gabby.....You were my father-in-law for 26 years and 6 days. What great times the three of us had together. I am remembering the wonderful trips we took in the RV....Florida, The Outer Banks, NC and Myrtle Beach, SC. You were facinated at the huge seal that came right up to the docks at Chincotague, Va. You were such fun to be with, even though you would always whip us soundly at minature golf and par three. I am so glad you were a part of my life. I will miss you, but I know there is a wonderful reunion in progress, so my friend, so long for now until we meet again.

Love, your daughter-in-law Marie
(Mrs Charles V Haskins)
