Dear Dennis, Ronald and family,
My thoughts and prayers are with you all at this most difficult time. I have wonderful memories of our families together in Wareham and the many get togethers at our house or yours. Your father was the salt of the earth, as was my father. There is no question in my mind that Ollie and Peewee are together smoking cigars being at peace. Now your mom is at peace with them. I know it is hard, but try to let all your great memories get you through this trying time.
My love to you,
Carol and Junior DeSimone

Ron and Dennis,
This is a very sad time for us. Auntie Connie will always be in our hearts and she will be deeply missed. I remember when Junior and I would ask your Dad to go to Foxwoods and he said "I will have to get a permission slip from the Bride". She would always say yes and he always had a good time. Looking at the pictures attached, the one with their 65th Wedding Anniversary, Junior and I were very proud to attend with the immediate family. I will always cherish that day. Now she is with your Dad and the rest of the brothers and sisters. We miss them all.
Ron, Dennis, JoAnn and Nancy, our thoughts and prayers are with you all. If there is anything we can do, please call us. Love, Carol and Junior

Grandma-
I'm so very sad that you are no longer here with us. How I cherished every moment we shared. From those summers down at wareham to those days at your club. You will forever hold a special place in my heart. 92 years, such a wonderful amount of time, i'm so blessed that for 27 of them I got to share them with you. Give Papa my love.

Dennis & Ronald,
I am so sorry, for you and for all of us. Our only Aunty left. I know she is at peace with everyone else. I have the best memories of Aunty Connie taking me every year at Christmas to downtown to look at the Filene's window and always let me pick out whatever I wanted. She was the best Godmother ever!
I love you
Donna

Connie, my little pain in the butt! (For anyone who takes offense, she said I could call her that!!! And we used to laugh about it!) I haven't known you for many of your 92 years, but from what I do know, you had a good life for those years and you picked the perfect way to die. I heard you talking to Ronald right up until the end. That's how I want to go, just sit down and go to sleep. As much as we miss you, it is a great comfort knowing that you went so easily. You never let blindness or deafness slow you down. It must have been lonely in your world not being able to see or hear, but you didn't complain about it. You complained about other stuff, but not that! We have had our moments in the past couple of months, but all the bad memories have already started to fade. That didn't take any time at all. The good memories are pushing them all out of the way. You said you wanted me to love you. Well, I do and I always have. You said you didn't like the word "step" and my kids never considered you their step grandmother - you were their grandmother and they were glad to be here to help you whenever you needed them. What is Colleen going to do now with nobody coming into her room all night asking what time it is? We all love you, Connie. And we always will. It is so strange not having you here. I thought you always would be. It is so quiet here. I guess you don't have to call us now to find out where we are because you know. And you don't have to miss Ollie any more. I hope he knows how much you missed him.
I know you don't understand the concept, but I have to work now. God bless you, you little pain in the butt! I love you.
