Velma R. O'Connor

I was deeply saddened to hear of you mother's passing. Just the name O'Connnor elicits such wonderful memories of hospitality and friendship. I'm sure that you are each a living testament to your parent's true Christianity and character, and sincerely hope that the thoughts and prayers of those who also loved them will sustain you in this time of sorrow.

Sincerely,
Betsy Axon Niland

To the O'Connors: I am saddened to hear of the passing of Val. I practically grew up at Thaddeus ST with Pat as my brother during grammar school at ST Pat's. I have fond memories of your mom and dad at my house as wonderful lifelong friends of my parents. I remember sampling many a lunch at Val's table after touch football at the power house.

To all the O'Connor Children, Grandchildren and Great-Grandchildren: I was so sorry to hear today from Nancy (Axton) Jones of your mom's passing. We all have the most wonderful memories of growing up together, all the parties our parents had together, and most of all, of our summers at the beach. She (and your dad) will be remembered by us and so many for their kindness, generosity, and loving spirits. You are in our thoughts and prayers at this difficult time. Sincerely, Eileenmari...

I was so sorry to hear of your loss. Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help at this time.

To all my cousins and their families:I am so sorry to hear about the passing of your mother. You are all so blessed to have had such a wonderful person in your life. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. Carol Gladu Cognata

To all of Val's children,
I am truly sorry to learn of your Mother's passing. Our parents' friendship spanned most of the 20th century, and beyond for our mothers. Their mutual affection & loyalty was a treasure and one for us to emulate in our own lives. We have years of fond memories to thank them for. I remember how well your Mother looked at my Mother's memorial service last year. She was beautiful inside and out, always a generous, loving woman. I am better for having known her. ...

Fran has told me often how special her mom was. What a blessing to have been raised by a tremendous woman and to know her through a long and rich life. My thoughts are with you in your grief and your celebration of her life.

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

Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. We will see you upon on return.
Ron & Jan
