Dear Poskanzer Cousins;
Although it has been a long time since we have seen each other in person, I was so saddened to hear of your Mom's passing. I have many fond memories of our childhood visits together (playing poker by candlelight) and visiting with her and Eddie in Gloucester on the beach. Please know we are thinking of you.....and our prayers are with you and your families during this difficult time.
Warmly,
Laurie (Ross), Alex, Jordan, and Nathan Smith-Michaels

Dear Lee, David and family,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you all during this most difficult time. I was honored to have met both your parents when I was a child. The two of you were in my mom's cub scout den and she told some hysterical stories of your adventures during those years. Your mother was always so kind to me, as was your dad and my mother spoke so highly of them both,and often. Though you may not remember me, I was the skinny sister, to my special needs brother, Christopher Kendrick and I helped out at the meetings, ceremonies and outings for several years. Mom passed almost 3 years ago but knowing she remembered all of you so fondly, I wanted to share my prayers with you on her behalf, as well as our own. Bless you all and may God keep you safe.

Dear David and Family,
Please accept my deepest sympathy and apologies for not attending your mother's service. Unfortunately, I did not know of her passing until Saturday evening and my heart just broke that I was not able to be there. Your mom was so special. Even after all these years, I still hear her voice saying to me on the phone when I would call your house..."No, this is Dori!"...she had a great sense of humor and God she loved her boys.
My love and prayers are with you during this time of mourning. Please take care.

Dear Poskanzers - we have lived across the street from your mom's house for the past six years. Doris made us feel welcome when we first moved here. She always had cookies for our daughters and flirted with my husband! (He is 40 years younger so I was not too worried.) We did not see her much in the winter time but looked forward to a backgammon game when she returned from Florida. We will miss her.

I met Doris at St.Peter's when she joined the Cardiac rehab. She was so witty. She told it like it was. She was full of life. She had the best looking sons and was so proud of them. Through years I would see her in the hospital where I worked, always with a family member. She will be missed.She was one of a kind.
With sympathy, Nancy Bailey Gallitelli

To the Poskanzer family,
I always enjoyed being around your mom. She had a great sense of humor and was always able to "give it as well as take it". And...it was obvious that she also had a wonderful, warm heart that she tried to mask with a "tough broad" facade, but it was always a facade. More than any of my folks' friends, she was the one that I most enjoyed sitting down with exchanging laughs. She will be missed.
Best always,
Larry Sanders

Dear Poskanzer family,
I will always remember your Mom as the nicest Price Chopper customer. It's been years since I worked at Madison Avenue, but I was sad to hear of your Mom's passing. Peace be with you.

Dear Alan and Lee,
I am so sorry to hear of your mother's passing. She was a lovely lady and I was in her company only a few times and she knew I was your friend and she always spent nice quality time chatting with me. I know your hearts are full and I hope you know I am thinking and praying for your family.
Sincerely,

Dear Family,
We are so sorry to hear of Doris' passing. She has been a good neighbor for all of the time we have lived next door, and for me as a new mother in the 70s, she was the voice of experience and calm. We will miss her, but hope that the many good memories you all have of her will bring you comfort. May God wrap all of you in his loving arms.
Yours,
Edith and Ian Leet

Dear David and Michael,
Franny and I share your sorrow from the bottom of our hearts. There is such a mixture of emotions at a time like this; loss, sadness, smiles, and happy memories. . The greatest gift of all your Mom has given you is her unconditional love, you have given her yours in return and you have shared together her glorious life. You, your brothers and your families are her legacy and she is so proud.
Take good care,
Fran and Carol Quinn
