Terry --
I remember Joe stopping by the school's office on occasion, with his open and friendly nature. In this time of loss, my sympathies to you and the entire family.
I also want to express my ongoing gratitude for how you (along with Joyce and Rosemarie) welcomed me to Coginchaug an impossible thirty-five years ago.
Throughout those early years I knew I could approach you when I was rattled or confused; you would lean on the front counter and calmly offer a common-sense perspective and assure me things would work out. I will never forget your kindness and support.

Dear Augustine Family,
I am so sorry about Mr. Augustine's passing. Even sorrier that I was away for his services. He was someone I always respected as I grew up and came to know him through my long friendship with Dick. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

I am so sorry I had to work and couldn't make the service but know that my thoughts and prayers were with you. I will always remember them at your wedding. At least they got to see that and I know that meant alot.
