Dear Palma, Marie, and Jean Ann,
I was so sorry to hear about Aunt Dora. I always enjoyed seeing her. I remember visits of her and the other aunts to Grandma and Grandpa's house when I was there and how they always teased their brother. Grandpa always seemed a gruff person (if you didn't know better) yet he always took their ribbing with amusement.
I will always be greatful for her gernerosity in renting the Providence apartment to Andy and I when we were married. It gave us the opportunity to save for our own home.
That loving and spunky lady will be missed.
Love,
Deb

Palma, Marie and Jean,
I was so sad to hear of your mom's passing. She was always so nice to me. I especially will always remember how she couldn't wait for me to meet this Al Williams guy who was "so nice you'd never know he wasn't Catholic". It was especially nice to see Palma and Jim recently, too. You all will be in our thoughts and prayers.

Dear Marie, Jean, Palma:
Please accept my deepest sympathy regarding the loss of your mother. Some of the greatest memories of my childhood are the times our families spent together in our yards on Ponagansett Ave. I will always remember that your mother was a beautiful woman with a soft spoken personality and a heart of gold. I am sure my Mom and Dad (Joe and Lena) will be happily reunited with her in heaven. God Bless you and your families. I am sorry that I will not be able to attend the services because of my work obligations.
