Not sure what to say?

I went to Providence St. Junior High with Kathy. I have fond memories of eating at Montrose's with my family. My prayers go out to the entire Shocas family on your loss.

I went to school with Kathy Shocas (Providence St. Jr. High) where we all knew her family was in the restaurant biz.

I met Mr. Shocas a few times at the restaurant in W. Boylston, a very lovely man.

After buying the El Morocco I hired a lady who worked for Mr. Shocas and spoke very fondly of her years there.

I'm very saddened to hear about the loss of your Dad. When I think of Arthur, I think of a proud, distinguished gentleman with lots of class; whose whole life revoloved around his family. I'm sure he will be dearly missed even though he is in a better place with his wife, your Mom.

I was so saddened to hear about your DAD but then on the other hand I figured it was probably a blessing. You don't need me to tell you what a great guy he was. I always enjoyed his and your Mother's company. Great parents---great kids. May your many fond memories of him sustain you in your time of sorrow.Sorry I won't be able to be there but you will certainly be in my thoughts. Love you all, Virginia

The loss of someone so close is difficult to bear,especially after losing your very much loved Mother recently. Your Dad was a wonderful man who I recently enjoyed visiting with. He told me he missed Toula very much and new he is with her in a better place and they will be happy to be together once again.
You were the best daughters, so loving and caring. Not everyone is blessed with such a wonderful family.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you all at this time of sorrow. Be...
