Our deepest sympathy to our good neighbor and long time friend, "Pete". Our Mom, Josephine Lyon Boettcher worked with Shirley in the post office, and through Shirley our family and extended family had the good fortune of knowing Russ and Shirley during their entire residence in Dunstable. They will be greatly missed by all.

Our deepest condolences to all the family and friends.
Losing a loved one is so difficult, needing comfort that only God can truly give.
So because of this, I have placed you on our prayer chain. We might not know all of you,
But God does and he IS the God of all comfort. May you feel our prayers and His comfort.
