Our deepest sympathies during this difficult time. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

You are in my thoughts and prayers.

The Grant family was among my most vivid memories of childhood - living next door on Bishop Road for most of my life. I can still recall my yelling 'Hi, Mrs. Grant' through what used to be the dense shrubbery that obscured the view between our houses. She always recognized the voices of which of the (5)Dunlay children was speaking at the time because she always responded in kind with Hello, Cary.'
My heartfelt condolences go out to Lynn, Carol, and Ellen. Your mom was a sweat lady.

I remember Rhea from the very first of my memories. I was a dear friend of Roseanne's and we spent every day either at Reilly's or at my house as we live practically next door to one another. I remember Rhea as being always efficient and responsible. I'm sure Roseanne and I were a big pain to her, but we, were in awe of her. She was a talented and wonderful gal. I later met her when I was an adult through church related movement and realized what a great gal she was.

My sympathy...

Dear Lynn, Carroll & Ellen.
I was so sorry to learn of your Mom's passing. We were neighbors for so long.
When my Mom moved to MD, she took great pleasure in their phone calls, and loved being filled in on all that was going on on Bishop Rd.
Maybe they are together again, getting caught up.

Dear Lynn and Kevin.

I was blessed to have Rhea as a part of the fabric of my life.

Many fond and dear memories have been resurfacing about our Bishop Street days.

The Beatles capture that feeling- "Those were the days my friend...We thought they would never end.

Love Tom

Dear Carroll,
Please accept my heartfelt sympathy to you and all of the family members on the passing of your Mother. I remember her fondly from our NWCHS '67 days with Molly Rees Gavin and Joanne Warner Fyfe. She was a lovely person. It is sad that we are losing our parents one by one, but God has certainly blessed us all with wonderful memories. May she rest in eternal peace.

So sorry to learn of this since I have so many fond memories. There is a picture of all of us at the picnic table in Fair Haven looking down on me as I type this message.

To Rhea's Family and Friends,

We are deeply sadden for the loss of your loved one who has passed on from this life here on Earth, she will be greatly missed by many. We celebrate her long life of many joys here, in our hearts and our memories of her. We find peace in knowing that she resides with our heavenly Father for eternity. Blessed be her soul.
