Dear Matthew How sorry I am to hear of your Moms death and then to see in her obit that your Dad passed as well. I will always remember her as a dear childhood friend from Sydenham Street. I will always remember your Dad as a gentleman who so enjoyed how Fran made him laugh. They were a lovely compliment for each other I know your Mom was very proud of you and loved you and your beautiful family. Again, my deepest sympathy.

Dear Matt, Genevieve, and children,
Please accept my sincerest sympathy on the death of your dear mother. Fran was my very good friend, and the Smith family's fond memories of our twelve years on Henderson Avenue are inextricably entwined with those of the Mallgrave family's. Best wishes for strength and mutual support during this difficult time.

Matt and Family, I was so sorry to hear from friends that your Mom has passed away. Your Dad was my boss in the 1970's and 80's, and I know all of us "old timers" have good stories and memories of both your Mom and Frank. I know you miss them both. Carol
