Dear Peggy and Tommy:
I am so sorry for your loss. I have so many wonderful memories of your parents sitting out in the back yard at Hough's Neck at the Labor Day family gatherings. Your mother was always a lady, soft spoken and sweet. A parent's death is hard, but I believe that losing your mother is twice as difficult. My heart and prayers are with you.

Dear Peggy,Tommy,and little Mary:
We were very sorry to hear of Auntie Mary's passing. Auntie Mary was my favorite aunt. I have many great memories of going to visit your mom and dad both at home in the Jamaica Plain house and at Farnsworth House. Auntie Mary always had a laugh and kind words for everyone and to see her and Uncle Eddie together was terrific. The love they had for each other should be an example for all of us, showing what a lifetime of love for another person is really all about. Even through all the bad times, I remember Auntie Mary and Uncle Eddie's laughter. Whenever I visited as a child Auntie Mary always slipped me some money as I was leaving, my mom always said you don't need to do that and Auntie Mary's response was always that she wanted to. I still have the cookbook that Uncle Eddie put together at Farnsworth House and it will always bring them both back to me as I look at it. Auntie Mary will be truly missed by all and I feel some comfort knowing that she is back with Uncle Eddie again and they will be watching over us all from above.
If there is anything we can do for you or if you need someone to talk to feel free to call us.

Love,

Marie, John, Joseph and Christina Russo

Dear Tommy and Peggy: I was so sorry to hear about Aunt Mary's passing. I had fond memories of her and Uncle Eddie. I remember going to your house as a child and watching the trains go by.

Your mother was a real lady, and I know that she and my mom, besides being sister-in-laws, were very good friends. Your mom was the only person in my parents' wedding party that was not a sibling to either my mom or dad.

If there any anything I can do, please contact me.
