Hey Gram:

It's me Vinny, I just stumbled upon this picture and it made me smile. I think about you every day! Wondering how you are doing, I drive by you every day and say hello to You, Papa, and Michael.

Barbara,
I am so sorry to hear of the passing of your mother. It was very weird, I thought of you the other day and was wondering how things are with you.
My brother-in-law Tom Maloney told me tonight about it as we were talking. I understand how you must feel with this loss. I lost my mother last November. Remember all the fun you had with her and always remember that she is a part of you.
Take Care of yourself.
Michael & Karen Locke

To the Peters family - so sorry about your Mom. We met her 30 years ago at Wyman's Beach and were friends all these years. She was a fun-loving person and always a joy to be around. We will miss her very much and miss our card games and lunches.

Love,

We loved Ellie and have great memories of all the Wyman's Beach days. All the card playing nights at camp. She was such a caring and fun loving person. We will miss her very much.

To the Peters Family,
Ellie (AKA Greta) was such a petite bundle of light, laughter, love, and hillarity that to think about her is to bring a smile to your face and heart. What a firecracker! I am blessed to have known such a strong woman who brought guts and grace to her roles as a mother of 6 children and wife of almost 60 years. She was unique and I was lucky to have known her all these years.
Love, Denise
