Mr. Mealey,
Sir, I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice for our Country when you served in the USN during WW II and for being a member of the Greatest Generation. And to your family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.

Joe,

You were not only my good friend, you were also my favorite bartender! You will always have a special place in my heart.

Dad,

May you rest in peace with Bobby.
Don't forget to tell him that the Sox won the World Series in both 2004 and 2007.

Enjoy your ice cream and lemon meringue pie. No holds barred now!

I remember that you used to laugh at that old song "Spirit in the Sky" by Norman Greenbaum because you thought he had such a goofy name! Now you know first hand what he was singing about.

I will cherish the memories of Swifty and I spending time with you each and every summer vacation the most. Oh, and let's not forget our "adopted" dog either. Thanks!

When you meet up with Frank, let him know that we always thought that you did sing better than him. You said so yourself!

Goodbye for now.

Love, Linda
