Dear Paul, Alan, David, I remember your mother with such fondness! She was funny, bubbly, bright and always interested in everyone in our family. Both your parents were such wonderful friends for our Mom and Dad and I like to think that we Rocheleau girls helped add a female dimension to your male-dominated household. (I well remember Mom and Jeannette helping me pick out my first prom dress and her hosting a shower for me!) My condolences to your whole family. Jeanne Rocheleau Palermo

Paul, Alan, David and the rest of the family, I shall always remember your mother, grandmother, with such love and affection. I recall when we were young and she taught us how to play "Run my good sheep, run" when we were trying to entertain ourselves on a cool eve of summer. And as we grew older and all moved away, there was not a time that I was home visiting my parents, and later my mother, that I did not run across the street on Suburban Road and visit with your mother. She was always so upbeat and so full of life and so interested in what everyone else was doing. Always remember that she is still very much a part of you, for in you and all who knew her, she lives on. There are not enough words to take your sorrow away, nor the heaviness from your heart and I would not want to take your grief away because then you would not heal, but I can walk beside you and be your friend.
With deepest sympathy,
