Dear Jim and Sheila and Mike,
This is John Hannafin. I grew up across the street from your family at 166 Goodale Dr., Along with my sister and brother - Chris and Brian.
I am sorry to hear about the passing of your mother. She came to my father's ( Bill Hannafin ) funeral about 13 years ago. It was nice to see her after so many years and I had asked about all three of you at the time.
I would have been there today except I had an appointment Thursday morning that I could not miss and I also live in Massachusetts so I would've arrived in Wethersfield too late.
I always liked your family and thought your mother was a sweet and kind and gentle lady.
I was sorry to hear of her passing and was pleased to read that she was in the company of her family.
I see that her birthday is this weekend. I understand your sorrow especially during Holidays and special occasions. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. May she rest in Peace.
I wish all of you the best. And hope that being together and sharing fond memories will carry you all through these days.
Additionally, my sister Chris DiBattisto of Newington sends her condolences.
Sincerely,
John and Chris
