Jimmy, Sorry to hear of your mother Betty's passing. She was a wonderful lady. She was one of my favorite Catechism teachers at St. Joan of Arc, as a kid. I also had the pleasure of knowing and caring for her parents, your grandparents, many years ago. We were classmates and friends. Although time has come between us. Some friends are forever in our hearts. My deepest Sympathy to you and all the family left behind.
Your old friend Diane (Duquette) Hehir

Hi Peg,
I am sorry to hear about the passing away of your mother Elizabeth. My prayers are with you and your family at this time of sorrow. She sounded like a wonderful woman with a great legacy of children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. I work now as principal at the Harwich Middle School on Cape Cod and am unable to attend the services. Please say Hi to Liz for me--hope her law practice is doing well. I'm not sure if my brother Walter is presiding at your mother's funeral. He is an associate pastor at Christ the King Church.
