Not sure what to say?

Dear Teri, Seeing John's beaming smile brought back only the best of memories of the years of having your family as our neighbors. Thinking of you all as you celebrate the life of a good man.

Teri & Family,
I just heard about your loss yesterday. I so sorry, espically at this time of the year. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Dear Teri, Chris, Nikki and Tommy,
It has been a long time since I've seen you (15 years?) and just wanted to say having wonderful neighbors like you was a big part of my childhood. I have fond memories of Mr. Boland and know he will be dearly missed. I am so sorry for your loss.

Dear Terri and Family,

We want you to know that you are in
our prayers and thoughts. Terri, your marriage was a witness to all
who knew you. I'm sorry I had to
miss the mass celebration for John.
We had a family Christmas party today. But know that you are in my
daily mass prayers. Your former
work buddy, Kathy Gatto

Dear Boland Family:
I remember John, or as he was to me my neighbor growing up on Glen Oaks Ave as respecfully "Mr.Boland". He was always a very friendly man to me and my family and we new him best as having the best lawn and landscaping on the block!

I know when I played football and baseball in his backyard with Chris, he...

Terri and family,
I am so sad. What a wonderful guy. I'll always remember when John coached our girls Como Rec softball team. He was so much fun. God Bless.

Terri and John Halloween 2006

Being a neighbor for only a few months, it’s amazing how much of an impression John and Terri have bestowed upon us. We are very saddened for the passing of John. It was always a treat to come home and see John fiddling around with something, having him stopping over to say “hi,” or starting off a conversation with “Well I’ll tell ya’ somethin’.” He was always in wonderful spirits and good humor. John and Terri were a big part of our decision to purchase the house. We met John the day we...

Terri,
We are so sorry for your loss. We always enjoyed talking to John out in the driveway, while he was shoveling, mowing, painting mailboxes, etc. We enjoyed getting to know you and John better at the Halloween Party we were at. He will be missed. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.
