Dear Mary,

Your father lived a good, long life and though I don't know him personally, I know he offered my mom love and friendship through his letters. I'm sure he's still with us in spirit and watching over you and your family.

Much love,

Diane

By the way - my grandfather is 95 in the picture I attached to my previous entry - I couldn't load the one with him that he was 87 in - the picture I have on here with my previous entry was just taken of my grandfather the last time I was in Boston last April '08. I miss you Papa!

Dear Mary, It is hard when we loose our loved ones. I'm sad that this has to take place yet I am also happy knowing that one day Christ will join us together again. You have children and so many friends that love you. Hold on to hope. Peace be with you.

My Grandfather was 96 years old when he passed. I never saw anyone who looked as good as him at his age. This picture of him was taken when he was about 87 years old. He didn't look a day over 80 when he passed!

Dear Mary,

Your father was a friend and a very dear man. He never said a bad word against anybody and everyone that knew him benefited from his sense of humor. You could always count on Al for a good laugh. He was an artist, a generous person, a gentleman and loved by many of us in Boston. He was a truly good man and he will be missed by many. May God Bless him

Love to AL,
Friends from Boston
