Mr. Oates, Donny and family,
When I learned of Mrs. Oates' death, I was saddened and then quickly had thoughts of the many, many happy times the Curtin family had at your home through the years of growing up and starting families of our own. Your family always welcomed everyone who came to your door. Joanie met Dan and each of our children with a BIG hug and plenty of food, fun and fond memories in the making-'the money game?'

Donald, I was so sorry to hear of Joan's passing. Our friendship goes way back and you know I think the world of you. I'm going to Florida tomorrow and will not be able to make Joan's services. You will be in my thoughts and prayers.

Mr. Oates & Family,
Dianne and I were very sad to hear of Mrs. Oates' passing. Some of my fondest memories of her were spent at her home on Christmas Eve's growing up in Belmont and following high school football games, especially on Thanksgiving Day. It was always great fun to go to the Oates for the Curtin family. Your Mom was terrific Donnie. I'll never forget her laughter, her love of her family and her zest for life. She always made me smile. God Bless you all and remember the joy...
