Dear Ron and Family, I was so shocked when I opened the Standard Times, which I rarely get. I am so saddened. Your Mom and I talked a lot after church many mornings. I lost my husband and she tried to help me in coping with giving me a book which had helped her. I will never forget her kindness, she was an Angel to me. May God Bless You All = my prayers are with you.
Sincerely,
Mary Ann Williston (Stephen's Mom)

Dear Mike, Terry and Ron --- I knew your mother when she was a volunteer sixth grade Religious Education teacher at St. Francis de Sales. Over the years, she taught several hundred young people. Her wisdom, quick smile, patience and faith were always evident. She was loved by her students, the other teachers and myself. May you continue to honor her and your dad by your own lives. Know that you are in many people's thoughts and prayers.

I am so sorry for the loss of your Mother. I had not seen her in 50 years until 2007 when we reunited at our 50th High School Reunion. I am so thankful to have shared these moments with her. She was a beautiful person. She will be missed.
God be with all of you.

Ronnie, I am so sorry to hear about your Mom. I know you loved her and your father very much. It is nice to know that you have Noelle to keep you going through this difficult time. I wish there was something I could say or do to take away the pain. I will keep you and Terri and Michael in my prayers. Take care of yourself and know that you will see both of them again one day.

I am so very sorry to hear of Mrs. Gauvin's sudden passing. I've known her since I was a little girl, she was a wonderful woman and will be missed. My sons always used to stop her to pet Zach on their daily walk while we were visiting with my mom and dad up the road.
My heart and prayers go out to Terri, Michael and Ron, God bless you all.
