Dear Patricia and Jackie,

My deepest sympath to both of you in the loss of you Mom.

She was the last aunt I had in the family.

There are lots of memories of your Mom (my aunt) gooing way back to my childhood. I have fond memories of her taking us to Revere Beach when we were little kids and spending summers down the country in Pembroke at the cottage that Uncle Tony, your Dad and my Dad built. We would pick bluberries and take them home for your Mom or Auntie Myrtle to make a pie or muffins. Oh how good they were!! Auntie Myrtle would take us out after a summer rain and go pick wild mushrooms which she would cook with eggs. Never knew how she knew which ones were good to eat and which ones might poison you. I remember the time she arrived with periwinkles from the beach. She cooked them with the gravy and put them with the pasta. Do people still do that? They were all wonderful cooks. Only my mother hated cooking, so it was always a treat when your Mom or Auntie Myrtle did the cooking. I remember when we all were at Auntie Anna's house and they would play cards. Auntie Theresa would get so excited that I feared she would have a heart attack over a 25 cent wager! Your mother woud say "Tree, you know Bea had a better hand than you". And she would reluctantly acquiesce.

I remember when they all moved to Florida, and your Mom and Dad built a house almost next door to where I built my first house in Florida. It was great having the whole family here, but, they soon decided to move back North because of you kids. I understood, but I missed them.

The years have gone by so quickly, and now they're all gone. I miss those days and times of old but they remain a lasting part of my memory that I often reflect on with so many warm thoughts.

I know there is nothing I can say or do that will change anything for both of you, but rest assured my prayers and thoughts are with both of you today as you take your Mom to her final resting place. It makes no difference how old or sick they are, they are our Mothers. We are given only one and both you and I had them with us for a very long time. Our only consolation is in knowing there is no more pain or suffering. They're probably all together playing cards as we speak!! I can hear Auntie Theresa yelling and stuttering for words trying to keep from losing ten cents. Oh my God, those were the days!

Patricia and Jackie, if there is anything I can do, please call and let me know. I am still working full time. I celebrate 50 years, this year, as a Funeral Director, and am still seeing families who have to deal with the pain and loss of a loved one as you both have to do now. I live in Orlando, Florida. My address is 2854 Silver Spur Lane, Orlando, Florida 32822. My telephone number is 407-234-0160 and my office number is 407-898-1698.

Unfortunately, I am unable to be with you for the funeral, but will have a Mass Celebrated for your Mom in my home parish. I will give a call when I can get a phone number for you.

Sincerest sympathy,

Jimmy Martin

John and I were so sorry to hear of the death of your mother. Each time we visited Boston your mother was so kind to us and in fact she allowed us to stay with her just prior to Kathryn Power's wedding. We think of her often with great kindness. Sorry we cannot be with you but our thoughts are with you all at this sad time.

Patricia and Jackie my sister called and told me about the death of your mother and I am sorry to hear that. I got a note from her in late March after I sent her my new address we corresponded through the years and talked on the phone occasionally I will miss that. I can't make the service because I now live in Florida but my heart will be with you. Your cousin.
