Dear Katie....Here it is the last day of 2008 and I just found out a few days ago (when I read your "thank you" in the local 369 newsletter) that Dudso had passed away; in July, no less. When I saw the date I realized we were on a cruise that week and nobody told me when we returned. Anyway, I am so, so sorry to hear that Dudso died. I worked with your dad at the Edison Plant years ago and he was such a nice, nice guy. Then, when me, you and Linda shared an apartment together, he so graciously painted our whole apartment for us! It really hurts deeply to lose our parents, even though it's the normal course of things. I'm sure you're sad; especially now, around the holidays. I will keep you, Jimmy, Matthew and your family in my prayers. Remember, we will see them again!

Dear Foley family,

So very sorry to hear of Dudso's passing. Both John, myself and our girls, Pamela and Martha thought so much of Dudso. He had a great sense of humor and made us all laugh!
Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you at this time. We miss seeing you here on the heights beach. We would have come up for the service but we just heard about it today, Saturday, from Irene Hughes. Please stop in the next time you are here in Falmouth. My God bless all of you. Love, Barbara Turner, Pamela and Martha too.

To the Foley Family,

You have our deepest
sympathy with the loss of your Father/Brother/Grandfather. He was a very thoughtful and kind person throughout his life.
I will always remember him in the past couple of years doffing his cap and pointing to the emblem on it.

May he enjoy the company of all of our loved ones that have gone before us.

Dear Foley Family,
It is with much sadness I feel in hearing of "Dudso's" passing.
"Dudso", was "a good, good guy" and great friend to my Dad, Walla Walsh. I can't help but smile when I think of the reunion those two are having now!!
