Not sure what to say?

Dear Aunt Peggy and family,

I was so sorry to hear about Uncle Hector. He was always one of my favorite uncles and I have very fond memories of playing with my cousins at your home when I was a little girl.

More "recently", I remember when Uncle Hector was visiting Ct just after Ken and I became engaged. Ken's band was playing at a local club and Uncle Hector, along with a few other relatives, made time to come and hear them play. It was his idea to see the band and I was...

Aunt Peggy and family,

We all are saddened by the passing of Uncle Hector. We have so many wonderful childhood memories of his life.

But the one memory that is most foremost in my mind is the night my own dad died on July 22, 1963 when I had just turned 15 years old and was so frightened of what our lives would be like without a father.

I will never ever forget that Uncle Hector was the very first one at the house, it seemed like he was there almost immediately and he...

Dear Dave and Carol, We are so sorry to hear of your father's death. We send our love. You are in our prayers.

Sandy; my sympathy and prayer go out to you, your mom and the family. I knew Joe from Lycoming in Stratford years before the move to Charleston. Always a professional in his work, easy to work with but never hesitant to speak his mind. We were never close socially but it was my pleasure just to have known him.

I met Joe about 20 years ago when I was a young woman just into cycling. I signed up to go to the Keyes with the Coastal Cyclists not knowing a lot about the sport. I had just gotten a hybrid Trek and thought I was very cool. Joe was so gracious and rode with me from Marathon to Key West. I know he could have left me in his wake and for that I will always be grateful for his patience and generosity.
My thoughts and prayers will be with your family during this difficult time. Godspeed.

Dear Sandy and Louis,

My thoughts and prayers are with you and all of your family during this difficult time. Your dad had such an amazing life. I know you'll have so many wonderful stories and memories of him tucked in your minds that you can call upon to help heal your hearts.

I enjoyed cycling with Joe for several years. He always was ready for a ride to the beach and back! I have many fond memories of him. My sincere condolences.

To The Family of Joseph Bourque. We extend our most sincere sympathy and condolences on the passing of your husband, father and grandfather. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all! Fred and Penny Young and Victoria

Dear Dave and Carol,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family, now and always. Sorry we can't be with you now, but know that we love you.
