Heather, I'm so sorry about the passing of your Grandmother. I will miss doing her hair on Tuesday mornings, she was a very sweet woman. The nursing home won't be the same without her. My prayers are with you and your family at this difficult time. Sincerely, Linda Schaefer

Dear Joe and Judy,
My sincere sympathy on the death of your Mother, Cecelia. When she and your Father were first married I delivered Liberty Magazine to them each week when they lived on Carter Street in Providence. The Pangborns and the O'Donnells were always close. Please convey my sympathy and good wishes to everyone in the family. I shall offer Mass for your Mother in the morning.
My sister, Esther Connelly, and my brother, Jack and his wife Jeanne join me in this message. May God bless us all and may He be kind to your Mother. That is the prayer
of your cousin and friend

I remember well your beautiful mother and grandmother. Many, many years ago her husband, Joe, Sr. and his brother, Walter, as young boys, came to live with my parents, Bill and Mary O'Donnell, following the the death of their parents. Joe and Celia, as we called her, were frequent visitors at our house in the 30's and 40's. We O'Donnell's have many fond memories of them both.
I have arranged to have a Mass offered for the repose of her soul.
