Gene & Family,

I was saddened today after hearing the news about Maddy's passing. I worked with her for a number of years at Burnham and we shared a lot of laughs over that time. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.

Uncle Gene, Mary, Gene, Tom and family,
Jim and I are so very sad to hear the news of Auntie Sis. We will miss her deeply. She was fun-loving, caring and a wonderful, lifelong friend to my mom and to all of us. I take with me a lifetime of favorite memories from the Dalton family...camping, birthday parties, and just plain being together.
We were happy that Auntie Sis got to meet Finn a few times in recent weeks. We will be sure to tell him all about my wonderful Godmother.
God bless and our deepest sympathy.
Love,
Eileen, Jim and Finn Sheehan
