Dear Bill & Tim, Our deepest sympathy to you
all and your families. I have many fond memories of Aunt Millie. Memories that go back to when I was as young as five years old.We lived in Grafton at that time and your
Mom would take the bus from Worcester out too see us. Each time she would bring me a York peppermint candy bar. I would always look forward for the candy.
I have nothing but fond memories for all the holidays we all spent together. After I got married you folks all made our holidays
wonderful and Sheryl & Brian still remember.
