Dear Amy & entire O'Connell family,

We are very sorry to hear of the loss of your Mother. Although I did not know her personally from the stories Amy shared and as a fellow Simmons alum, she was an inspiration to me.

We know how the loss of a mother changes everything. May your fondest memories of her remain in your hearts and minds forever.

Love,

Peggy & John Payton

A pleasure to sit at a table of this wonderful caring lady. Centerville Library bridge group. She has been missed since she left the cape, we have a fill-in but she was never replaced. Her best funny story was the bag of marbles she received on her birthday in case she ever lost hers.
