DearmMary Lou and Ray,
Ray and I were so sorry to read about your father's passing. How lucky you were to have him all those years. We had no idea where you had moved to.

Hi, first let me express my sympathy for the passing of your father. I remember being at your parents house in Braintree with my grandmother, Mary (Mae) Erwin. My father is John Erwin. I would love to reestablish contact with this part of the family. If you are interested, please contact me at my email. Ann

Ollie,
We will miss you. You were always the highlight of our walks around the neighborhood. We will miss our chats with you and all of your wonderful stories. You watched our children grow all of these years and they will miss "stopping by to see Ollie." Belle will miss her treats and her playtime with Petey.
May God Bless You and Keep You.
With Much Love, Michael, Heather, Michaela and Matthew Gillis & Belle
