Mrs. DesChenes and Janet:
MOM (Marguerite St. Cyr) just notified me of the passing of Mr. DesChenes. We are very sorry and know you'll find it lonely without him. We always enjoyed the company of all of you and Del told me many stories of the earlier years in Winchendon. We wish you much comfort in the times ahead. Now, he is very happy in heaven with Tommy. They will both watch out for you all. I'll say a prayer for you all.

Dear Blanche, Janet and family,
Bill and I were saddened to hear our adopted "Uncle Al" had passed. He was a kind, gentle and loving individual who always put family first. We have wonderful memories of Richard famiily get togethers where his dry wit, and quiet presence all added to the festivities. We are thinking and praying for you at this time. We send hugs and love.

Bakers Grove has lost a dear friend. What a good pal Al was to me; always ready to help me putter around the camp,sharing tools and trading stories. I'll miss him.
My best wishes to Blanche with sincere sympathy.
