Melissa,
So sorry for your loss. Your mom was one of the first people I met at Verizon when I started 14 years ago. She was always so kind to me. I will miss her at our dinners out!

So sorry for your loss. I worked with Carole at Verizon for a couple of years and she was a wonderful person. She was always so happy and decorated her cube every Christmas. She will be dearly missed. Prayers for your family during this difficult time.

Melissa and Shirley: So sorry to learn of Carols' passing. Althoigh we haven't seen each other for many, many years I have many fond memories of the times she would travel to Grandma MacNeil's in Nova Scotia with aunt Carrie for a summer vacation. They were great times meeting our many relatives from the U.S. Once again my sincere condolences!
