Your mother was a lovely lady, always gracious, and always had a kind word to say. She was a true Christian.

To the Dandurand Family and Peggy,

My sincere condolences. I last saw beautiful Gloria at Kayla's First Eucharist on Nana Bunnell's front porch.
I remember her first, Ann Marie, hostessing what was my first girl/boy party when we were in grade 7. I remember calling Alice for permission to stay an extra hour. Permission was granted.

Love you all and wish I was in Boston.
