Not sure what to say?

We very sorry for your loss, Penny. We've been missing you. from Freya and Erik (Sally and John)

I did not know James very well but really enjoyed the times when our paths crossed and he got to enlighten me about something. A gentle, poetic thoughtful man, he knew so much. I seem to recall he was working on a book...is that right? I hadn't seen James in quite a while and was saddened to see that he had passed. I would have wanted to attend his memorial on Saturday but I had already committed to spend the day with my daughter to celebrate her 55th birthday. Please accept my...

So sorry Penny nobody can fill those shoes

I remember this lovely man, Jim, but never knew his name. I cashiered at a Greenfield grocery for several years - and ALWAYS felt a profound sense of peace and joy when I would look up and see his face in my register line. He was always so easygoing, friendly, gentle and kind - that it really was a treat to serve him. I will miss seeing him.

I will always remember riding your vespar scooter down Mattakeesett st as a kid. You were always so soft spoken but with an Irish twinkle in your eye and devilish smerk. I will always have loving memories of you.

I will always have fond memories of you. Rest in Peace.
