Read MoreTo the Burkes and Krechies - may your memories get you through this difficult time. Ed was a great friend of the Tildens - when Don needed some help - Ed was the first one there. That was many years ago but the friendship lasted. Now the two firefighters are doing what they did best - talking about the "big one".
God bless you all, Joan Tilden,Weymouth

No more pain, no more suffering, just dancing in Heaven with your sweetheart. Rest in Peace my dear Grampy. You have been waiting for the moment that you would be reunited with my Nana in God's Kingdom and that moment has finally arrived. You are so greatly missed by your family and friends, and your memory will live on forever. Thank you for putting your hand over my head when I was little to make sure I didn't bump into anything and get hurt. Thank you for always having "battries" available...
