Dear Steven, Carl and Elyne,
I'm so sorry for your loss!
I will always remember hanging out with your mom and uncle Sumner when we visited Worcester.
In later years, your mom offered to help with my wife's cancer appointments and was always so attentive to my mom. I will always appreciated that!
Please keep in touch!

Dear Steven, Carl and Elyne,
Gail and I go way way back... Her parents and mine were so much a part of the "old" Greece Clan when we were kids.
I have many many fond memories of the times we spent together at all the family outings, parties and so many other events back then.
My wife, Bobbie and I want to send our sincere condolences to you all on your loss.
Your mom was a terrific lady who we will not ever forget.
Love, Sam (and Bobbie) Svetkey
