Dear Mr. and Mrs. Turgeon,
I just today learned of Lenore's passing. I am so sorry for your loss. Although I had not seen her for more than 30 years, I have thought of her many times in those years. I will never forget her warmth and kindness to me as a small kid growing up on East Street in Adams. Lenore was a very special person and I will never forget her.

Too soon we lost our carefree little girl.

You are not forgotten. Your smile and free spirit live on.
Arise and hold out your hand in greeting, for

To the family of Lenore,
I am deeply saddened to hear of death of Lenore. I met Lenore while we both were getting pedicures about two months ago. We talked like old friends for an hour and an half. We realized we both were from Massachusetts and that I went to North Adams State College. She had the best personality. We exchanged numbers and email and had been in touch with each other at least once a week. Sadly, we never got together in person after that because of scheduling but she was truly a special person. I will miss her and her vibrant personality. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. God Bless.
Sincerely,
Ellen Kruk
