Not sure what to say?

Jules my dear friend. Thinking of you. Your Mom was a light.

save a dance for me...

Mrs. Nancy Roberts,
You were an amazing beacon in your children's lives. I know that your strength and caring have made Julie and Peter the wonderful people they are. I think the toughest thing at this point is for your loving children to exist after your leaving; I feel confident you want them to go on strongly, but I also know, since I lost my own Mom this year, that going on is one of the toughest things we can do. Look down and bless them as I know you will. And thank you for giving...

Julie and Peter -
wishing you peace with all the good memories of your family and Mom.

The Roberts Family,
Our condolences on the passing of your mother. Our thoughts with you.

Regards

The John P. Kissane Family
