Judi, Joyce, and Jackie,

So sorry to hear of your mother's passing. It has been too many years since I have seen any of you. Your mom was always nice and I can still see her looking out the kitchen window! I bet she has one heck of a view now!

Dear Joyce, Jack, and Judi,
We are all so sad learning of Claire's death. Although I did not see her often, I loved her impish sense of humor and we always found something to laugh about. She was a joy. You had a truly wonderful Mom. Thinking of you and sending thoughts and prayers...
love,

To the Tinlan Family:

Please accept my sincere symphathies in the passing of Claire. Having only met your Mom during some of the hardest days of my life, I am glad I had the pleasure. Your Mom was there for my Mom during her last days. Your Mom would often visit my Mom at the MGH and Spaulding before going off to work at 4. They were co-workers and friends while working at the Suffolk County Courthouse. My Mom, Barbara Devlin, thought of your Mom as a true friend in every sense of the word. Reading of her passing brought me back 12 years and I shed a few tears - but then I smiled knowing our Mothers are now together again causing chaos for sure! What lottery # do you think they are playing tonight?!

WE NEVER LOSE THOSE WE GIVE TO GOD.
