Dear Kane Family, My deepest sympathy to your family on the passing of your mother. She certainly was a dear friend to my mom. I remember when I was young coming up to Massachusetts to see your family. Your family always had a special place in the Driscoll household because three of us share first names. Your mom and dad were truly wonderful people. So sorry for your loss.

We never knew your Mom, Scott, but Paul and I feel she picked this time to be with your Dad, because she knew you have a wonderful son & wife of your own to be with. We know all of you will miss her. You were all so faithful. God repays.

Patty, we are so very sorry to learn of your mothers death. Every mother attempts to teach their children strong family values and good character traits that they will use during the course of their life. You have proven through your actions that your mother did a wonderful job in her teachings. Your mother must be very proud of you and your family. God bless you and your family.

My deepest sympathy to all of the Kane Family. I had nice memories of your Mom and heard many stories through my life from my mom as I am sure you have from yours. She certainly was a dear friend. She will be missed. You will all be in my prayers.

Dear Kane Family,
I was wondering if this was the same family that used to live off of Nott Street in Wethersfield, CT? Please let me know so I can write more. I think my brother, Brian Lewczyk, used to be a young friend of Tommys. Thanks, Cathy Murphy (please excuse if you get 2 messages from me, as the first didn't seem to go through.)

Dear Kane family,
I saw your Mom & wife's obituary in the newspaper this morning and before I write I was wondering if this was the same family that used to live off of Nott Street in Wethersfield? If it is, my brother Brian would have been friends with Tom, we called him Tommy then. If you have time please let me know. Thank you. Cathy Murphy ( maiden name Cathy Lewczyk)

Dear Tom, Patty, Greg, and Scott,

I have such wonderful memories of your mom that I will treasure always. We were so lucky to have such special and loving parents. My thoughts, prayers and love are with you all now. Linda
