Dear Michael and Gina
I was so sorry tohear about your mother's death. I loved your parents and remember them visiting Noni and Grandpa's house in Worcester. Judy was a very kind and caring person, that is probably why she chose the profession of nursing. I do remember Gina ( about two years old) running around the yard and at the beach on Lake Quinsigamond with beautiful curly blond hair. Please keep in touch. Family reunion in the works
Love Linda

Sorry Mike and Gina for forgetting to save my message from yesterday. I just wanted to express my sadness for the loss of your mother. Ironically when my sister Kim called with the sad news, I had just finished organizing my desk. There in the pen box, was the pen your mother had given me 38 years ago for my high school graduation - a gold Cross pen engraved with my initials. As you may recall Judy (as she allowed me to call her) was my godmother. I ALWAYS received a card and gift from your mother on holidays and my birthday. As you know as well, she was my mother's oldest and dearest friend. I can still see you mother, father, and Uncle Frank and his wife Aster (I think that was her name) over our house. Everyone laughing and having a great time. Your father would sometimes entertain me with card tricks to boot! You could tell that they really loved being together.

As my sister Kim mentioned - they are all together once again, surely praying for us, but maybe when they are not so serious, they may be finding some time to get another laugh or two!

I hope you and your family find a little consolation in that.

Regards,
Frank Brombley
