Not sure what to say?

Eileen and I were housemates at Smith. I always admired her forthright manner and her erudition. She traveled to Florence with my sister, Barbara Johnson, and I was looking forward to meeting her again. I guess we'll have to wait. I was a graduate student at Brandeis when Phil was the Director of Admissions. I knew you all when you were a growing family. I am so sorry.

Kate, Ellen,Hope, Moira, and Philip:

I was saddened to read of your mother's passing. Although I had not seen or talked to her over the past 30 years or so, she remains in my memory as warm and enthusiastic and smiling.

The care she had for you, and her values and personal echievements, should serve as far more lasting and important memorials than any piece of stone.

I am letting Patty know, in case Kate did not reach her.

My sympathy. I knew Phil & Eileen Driscoll at Brandeis in the fifties.Outstanding people.

Please accept our deepest sympathy. Your Mom was an outstanding woman who was a role model for many. It was a pleasure working with her during her DCD days.
