Like a lot of guys and gals who hung out at the old hall on Lyons Avenue I too got to know Mrs. Flietz at a very early age. She was tolerant then of our not always ideal behavior and as we grew up we came to realize she was indeed an extraordinary person in a seemingly ordinary way. There were a lot of “Moms” on Lyons Avenue, each very special, and Mrs. Flietz was one of the best.

Dear Fred and family,

Fred,

Sending you my prayers, peace, and congratulations for having such a special mother.

It's been so many years since I have seen you, but I remember our good times and memories over the years.

Your mother was obviously a very special woman. (I did not know about the peacocks, but I loved the reference.)

Be in touch when you can and keep the faith.

My best and prayers to you and all your family.

It was my honor and pleasure to know "Gram," and to share in the joy that life always held for her. I have rarely met someone so vibrant, cheerful and pleasant to be with who laughed in the face if age as she laughed at so much else. My friend has lost a grandmother, my godson a great grandmother, but we have all lost an inspiration. She will be missed.

My deepest sympathy to the Fleitz family. I remember Mrs. Fleitz so beautifully from my childhood. We had such a wonderful time at camp,
across from Rodgers Slide, on Lake George. My father loved to go visit Mrs. Fleitz (where ever she was at), and she gave great comfort to him throughout his last days. I will always be greatful for that. May she be at peace.
Sincerely,

JERRY & JACKIE TREACY
