Dear Mark,
I'm so sorry to learn of your mom's passing. I met her when you were young and over the years we had many good times together and shared many laughs (and a few rants). It's hard to know that her warmth and light are gone. Her tremendous love will always be with you. Iris Bernau, Groton, CT.

I am so very sorry to hear about Sally. We attended junior and senior high school together-- I remember her as very bright and enthusiastic. A few years ago I ran into her and she simply beamed when she spoke of her son. My thoughts and prayers are with you all at this sad time.

Dear Joanne, Ernie, Michael, Steven and Jimmy
I was heartbroken to hear about Sally. Growing up I have such great childhood memories of you all. She would always take the time to push me on the swing set when I was little and later in life always took the time to give a hug and chat. Please know that I am thinking of you and that prayers are being sent your way. She is at peace now and with your parents.

Dear Joanne, Mike, Tracey, Michelle and Courtney,
So sorry to hear of Sallie's passing. I bumped into Sally many times over the years at the grocery store and she was always tok the time to chat and bring me up to date on what Joanne's girls were doing, and of course, glowed when sharing the latest news about son Mark. May fond memories of the good times you shared help to carry you through this most difficult time. Fondly, Deb Burlingame and Joe Donohue

I am heartbroken over the news of Sally's death! Sally immediately contacted me upon my sister's death back in 2007 and checked in with me several times to see how I was. I have always adored her since I was a young child. Whenever I did see her, she always gave me a hug and a kiss. My condolences to her family! :-(

My deepest sympathies on the passing of Sally. She was always a nice person. After we were graduated from Stonington in 1979, I used to see her often in Town as we both worked locally. She always had a great disposition and was always upbeat about life. She will be sadly missed by everyone that knew her.

So sorry to hear about Sally. I haven't seen her in a long time but I have such great memories as kids, like cutting through your yard to catch the school bus and sledding on Cottrells hill. Sandy was always outside, sitting on the steps. On a visit back home to visit my mom, we ran into Sally in the grocery store and she was showing us a picture of her son, she was so proud and glowing. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.
