As one of her stepgrandchildren who lives out of state, I was very sad to hear of my grandmother's passing and will miss her as will the rest of her extended family of a stepdaughter, several step-grandchildren, along with several more stepgreat-grandchildren.

Dear Sue, Jane and Family,

My heart goes out to you and your family. I lived on Walnut St. in Braintree. I was your mother's cleaning lady for a few years. I
remember the day both of you got married and how happy your mother was. She was very proud of you. It is a strange coincidence that I decided to check the death notices today in the computer and found your mother's name. I called her in June but was told she was unable to talk. I did talk to her in January. As I write this I have tears in my eyes. I loved your mother. I always enjoyed talking to her. She was a wonderful woman.

With my deepest sympathy,

Denise Harrison

Dear Sue and family,
You are all in my thoughts and prayers at this difficulut time. I remember your Mom as one of the very special Braintree moms during our time in school. And today I hear the stories of how she is one of the most special grandmothers!
Special thoughts to all of you.

Dear Susan and Jane,
I was very sorry to read of your Moms passing. My Mom passed away on August 23rd and will be buried the same day as your Mom. Too weird! Mom had been battling cancer for almost two years and died very quietly and peacefully. My thoughts and prayers are with you as you go through the mourning process. Take care and stay well.
Warm regards,
Nancy Harrison-Lenk
