Dear Dicksons all:
Memories of 75 Canton Ave, sliding down the bannister, playing card games at the Schuss, skiing Wildcat Mountain, and hanging up wet bathing suits after a Pleasant Bay swim all include visions of Mrs. D. and her steady, kind, and creative presence.

Joanie, Dr. Bill and family. Although I didn't know your mom and Dr. Bill's wife I express my deepest sympathy for your loss. May you be comforted by the love and memories of family and friends.

Dear Joanie,

I'm sorry I didn't have a chance to know your mother personally, but I think of her whenever I think of or visit the Wellfleet Bay sanctuary, and like to imagine that a part of her spirit will always be there. Her contributions to that wonderful place are such a great and lasting gift to all of us. You, Dave, and Bill will be in my thoughts as you remember her.

Dr Dickson and family We at Overlook VNA send our condolences regarding the loss of your wife Harriet

Joanie and family,
My thoughts are with you, Your Mom was such a special person, my memory is just how I may not have seen her often, but when I did she alway made me feel like I was talking to a friend, someone who cared. I believe it is all the good memories that help during this time and I know Aunt Harriet (thanks for letting me address her that way) has left you with many wonderful memories.

I am so sorry for your loss. Harriet worked with students in my classroom for a number of years. I enjoyed her company and her stories. I will miss her.
