Dear Patty and family,

Brian and I want you to know how sorry we are to hear about the death of your mother. We pray that God will give you strength during this difficult time. Unfortunately, we didn’t see the obituary in the Nashua Telegraph until the day of the services and were unable to attend.

Patty, I remember your mother as such a sweet woman. Her big smile in the picture reminded of what a kind lady she was. She had to be nice to put up with all of the shenanigans we put her through as kids! I know you were very close to your mother and your loss is great. I hope that time and happy memories will help to ease some of your grief.

Our deepest sympathy goes out to all of the Brunetto family and friends.

With heartfelt condolences,

Sandy & Brian Mulcahy
