Not sure what to say?

Carrie and Geoffrey...I am so sorry to hear about your mom. I just found out. I was her secretary for a short time in Basking Ridge. I remember both of you and how much she loved you and how proud she was of you. I still remember the party she had at your house. My sincere condolences.

I am so sorry and shocked to learn of Doreen's passing. I was just going to contact her on Facebook to see if I could find her cousin Lois. Doreen and I were on the twirling squad at MTHS (now North). She was always smiling and always so much fun to be around. I am so sorry....I will miss seeing her at our reunion in October. My deepest sympathy goes to the family.

Dear Carrie and Geoff,

You also came to my daughter's 3 year old birthday party in Chatham Twp with your mother and father. We had a puppet show! I doubt you remember any of that. Geoff, I left...

I worked with and for her from the days of AT&T in New York, Basking Ridge and when she worked for AT&T Microelectronics. She was a mentor to me and was instrumental in arranging for a Product...

Carrie and Geoff,
I'll never forget your Mom's (my cousin) wonderful laugh, and all the fun times we had when she would sing and I would play guitar. She was just the bravest lady and a treasure to all of us.

Carrie and Geoff,
I'm glad I got to know your mom. She was as brave, graceful and strong as her condition allowed her to be. Her determination to make the most of life regardless of circumstances remains an inspiration to me. Please accept my condolences at her passing.

Sincerely and with much love,
