Bruce and I were saddened reading of the loss of your mother. We became friends of your parents while attending Mass at the Veteran's Home and considered them the dearest and most beautiful of couples. I had always hoped that someone would write of your mother's life during World War ll..it was remarkable. We join you in knowing that they are together again.

Joan and Carol,
Such a flood of wonderful memories come over me about growing up in the old neighborhood. I have nothing but sweet memories of the smiles and infectious laughter from your parents. They were honestly one of the sweetest, most wonderful couples I ever met! Looking forward to seeing them again in that great reunion!
Love, Barry & Carolynne Bodine

Joan and Carol - I was saddened to hear about Aunt Ann. She, along with Uncle Ellie, were a large part of my life over many decades and I have so many fond memories of them. I was so happy to be able to visit with Aunt Ann just this past November when I surprised her with a visit on my trip to Bennington. She was delighted and we had a wonderful visit. She never tired to telling me stories about when she took care of my for many weeks as a baby when my mom had an injury and couldn't. I grew to love those stories each time I visited as an adult. Peace to you and all the family during this difficult time. I will miss her greatly. Love, Alan

Carol and Joan, I'm so sorry to hear of your Mom's passing. I always think of her and smile or chuckle. She and your father were two cuties. They're together now with all of the old gang.
