To the Earle Family
I only just found out about this, and was so sad. It has been many years since I have seen you all, but always smile when something happens that makes me remember growing up in Guilford. Mrs. Earle was a wonderful lady and I am thankful to have had her be a part of my life. I am thinking of you all.

As I look at her beautiful photograph, all the memories come flooding back. From the moment I moved across the street, Mrs. Earle became my second mom. With that perpetual smile, she was always there with open arms to listen, encourage and believe in us. She inspired us to be strong, have confidence in ourselves and pursue our dreams. Even though I have not seen her in many years, I always feel her presence in my life.
I will miss her so much and I am praying for all of you in this...

I am a friend of Pam's from New England Natural Baker's, although I first met her more than 25 years ago. I always appreciated her stories of her family--I heard about a family that was vivacious and outgoing, always busy with activities and family gatherings, full of humor and antics, and always reaching for their very best. I never met Pam's mother or the rest of her family, but I have the utmost respect for a woman who can provide such love and wisdom in raising a family. From knowing...

Dear Jim, Pam, Lisa, Jim, Peter, and Roberta,
I am very sorry for the loss of your wife and mother. As you know, she was influential in my youth and was an excellent example of how to live one's life. Obviously, she will be missed but hopefully remembered forever for her contributions to each of our lives. I am sorry I will not be there to see you, but will be arriving in town, coincidentally, later today. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Sincerely, Todd
