Dear Tarket Family,

My heart goes out to all of you during this difficult time. I still remember my Dad passing and the emptiness that it left with all of us, and that was 12 years ago. We found comfort in reminiscing about good times with funny stories and it helped the most when all of us were together because we knew we were all feeling the same emotions. Sounds corny, but it is comforting somehow to know that you are not alone in your feelings. I still remember all of us back on Lafayette Blvd. all those years ago when we were so young. It's funny how our paths crossed again through First Colony, almost like we were meant to keep in touch all these years. I will try my best to come by on Sunday to see you all. Sometimes a hug does wonders. I will keep you in my prayers and hope that God gives you the kind of peace you need to get through this loss.

Hugs to All,
Karen (Adamson) Majewski

Helen, Tony, Angel, and Michelle,
I am so sorry to hear of your mother's passing. She was a wonderful woman and will never be forgotten. Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with each of you, and I offer you my deepest condolences.

"Although no words of sympathy,
can take away your sorrow,
may memories of your loved one,
give you strength to meet tomorrow."

Sincerely,
Jeanine Thibeault LaLonde
