We have known each other for about 27 years and as life changes we drift apart. There have been many things you have done for me and I will always cherish the memories! I remember many funny and happy times in Braintree growing up. The pain is over and you rest in a quiet beautiful place. You will be remembered by many and missed by all. Mrs. F. you must remember all the good times you two shared, it will help you through the pain. Our deepest sympathy goes out to your entire family in this time of sorrow.

Mr. Furlong,
I didn't know you, but in reading that you were a lifelong Red Sox fan, last night's victory was for you. God bless you and may you rest peacefully. To your family, I extend my deepest sympathy.

Mr. Furlong,
Sir, I didn't know you but I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice for our Country when you served in the U.S. Army during WW II and for being a member of the Greatest Generation. And to your family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.
