Rest in peace, Lois.
You shared your heart, laughter, warmth and grace with everyone; you touched our lives. And in the end, that’s all any of us can hope to do – make a difference, be remembered. Joey, Lois will be your guide. Take her spirit and longstanding love with you as you pass through these new days; she would want it no other way. Jason, when you arrived on earth, you brought a whole new level of happiness, enthusiasm and compassion into your parents’ world. Carry these same virtues with you while traveling in yours.
We send our deepest condolences to the Gianquitti and Dandeneau families, especially Lois’s mom & dad, sister Linda and brother Ray.

Love,

Lydia Bernstein

Dear Mary and family: My heartfelt sorrow and my prayers are with you all. Although we have not seen each other in a good many years, I think of you and of our young children. Time passes so quickly and memories stored away, until something or someone awakens them. I hope you will remember me.
God bless you all.
