Dear Tom and Janine,
Because today is August 16, your birthday, I am thinking of you and decided to do a quick internet search. I was surprised and saddened to find your mom's obituary. I'm so sorry to hear this news, but happy to learn that she had married. Please know the Gilberg family is thinking of you and sends belated condolences to you both.

My condolences to Nelcine's family. Upon reading of Nelcine's passing, I was reminded of the time we did the jitterbug at a dance held at Girl's Catholic in Malden, Mass. Everyone stopped to watch us. Nelcine was a fun-loving person and a fun member of our high school crowd. So very sorry. I believe Nelcine is in the center of the attached pic, seated.

I was saddened to hear of "Nelcine's" passing. I was a friend of hers from Everett when a group of us worked for the Everett School Department. My husband and I were also friends of her parents. Nelcine was fun to be with and I lost contact with her many years ago. However, reading the death notice brought back many happy memories and I send my prayers and sympathy on her passing. My thoughts are with you.

We knew and enjoyed a friendship with Leanne for a couple years back around 2001-2003. We're very sorry to hear of her passing, but glad that she had love in her life until the very end.

God bless you.
