Oh my. Just had my Thanksgiving Day card returned today. It seems like yesterday I talked to you. I am in shock that you passed away in August. Ronald, your grandson , happens to be here today and brought in the mail. You and Al were our first people we meet when we moved to Francis Street way back in August 1963. Fr. Cyril OFM Cap. My brother will have a Mass said for you in Papua, New Guinea. You guys were special, loved your mom who was a very knowledgeable person. Right now I am in a state of shock. I am so glad we visited the last time we were in CT. I do have pictures of that. You were a special kind of lady. Love you forever. Rest In Peace, prayers always, Jim, Claudia, Ronald, and family.
