Andrew, Patrick, and Ryan,
Sadly, I just learned now of your great loss. I met your mom a few times over the years, and I remember how much she loved each of you and how much she believed in you, sometimes when others didn't. She was a great gift to you, if only for a short time. You are in my prayers. Mrs. Powers

Dear Joe~
You and yours sons will be in our thoughts and prayers. I wish we could have been at the Memorial Service - we understand Andrew paid a wonderful tribute to his Mom and you must be very proud of him. Take care of those boys and relish each and every precious moment with them!

Lived next door to all of you many years ago in Millis. Andrea was amazing and beautiful. As a young mother back then, she was my inspiration and she truly represented for me what a mother is; loving, giving and totally committed to her family. What a wonderful woman.

The life I touch for good or ill will touch another life, and that in turn another, until who knows where the trembling stops or in what far place my touch will be felt.”
