sorry for your loss. I am sure she was a great mother and grandmother. I saw her many times at Mystic Aquarium. I enjoyed her smiles. She was a great person!

Michelle, I'm so sorry to hear about your mother. I do wish we had kept in touch. We had so much in common when you and Melissa were children. She was a good friend to me those days.

Dear Michelle,
My deepest sympathy to you and your family. The memorial service was comforting to hear the many stories of folks who loved your Mom. The large number of people in attendance proved how much she was cared for and respected. Jennifer's Mom.
