To a wonderful lady. Sorry Ann and Paulie for your loss. I will keep your mom in my thoughts and prayers. I will always remember her smiling and being the one to have the right words to say at the the right time.

I am sorry to read of Mary-Everest's passing. We were Bayview classmates, the few to attend elementary school together. Having kept in touch with her on FB for the past couple of years, she appeared to welcome each day as a gift and dearly loved the visits from family. I hope the glow of those shared days provides you with wonderful memories. My thoughts are with her family and many friends.

I was deeply saddened in this news. I cherished the times I had with my 2nd Mom. We've shared amazing times with stories, food and much more. I'm sure she is happy and smiling down upon all those that she loved, especially her kids. I will miss her.

Aunt Minoute was available any time I needed a friendly ear or a laugh. She made me feel truly loved and often told me I was one of her "extra kids", of which she had many. She was a wonderful, loving person and I feel lucky to have known her. She was also one of the funniest people I have ever known-- a woman who tried to convince me she had magic powers when I was little, who knew every Girl Scout song, who was the first to laugh at a good joke and the first to repeat it. She was a blessing to me, my little family, and all who knew her well. Paul, Annie & Karen, much love to you all.

We are saddened by the passing of Minoute. As the old guard slowly departs, we are reminded that the River never stops moving on. Our condolences and sympathy go out to Anne and Paul.

I am so sorry to hear of Minoutes passing. We were classmates at Bayview and had reconnected several years ago on the Bayview site. My sympathy to her family.
