To Dave Sr & Dave & Family,
Our deepest sympathy on your loss of your Mom Dave and your grandmother. I (Sandy) wanted to attend the funeral mass, but was not able to do so, my sister has breast cancer & her surgery was that morning and I did not want to leave the house, so sorry. Joe and I were certainly thinking about all of you during this sad time. So sorry for your loss and we hope things are going well in NY.
Our best wishes,
Sandy & Joe DelGallo

So sorry to hear of June's passing. It's always hard to lose one's mother. I remember both your mom and dad as dedicated drum corp parents that enabled all of us to forge lifelong friendships. May she at last rest peacefully. I hope you will be comforted knowing she touched the lives of so many.

To all the Members and Relatives of the Fields Family:
We all take comfort in the fact that we had June Fields in our lives for so many happy years. No matter how close or far and time notwithstanding; June’s kind words and warmth were always there to greet you. Her laughter and big smile would light up any room day or night. I was happy to have spent many hours in the Fields home on Gale Ave. in Pittsfield; it was a safe, warm place for the members of the Pittsfield Cavaliers to meet and have fun. June was like another Mother to us all, no matter what side of the tracks you may have lived; you were always welcomed in her home. We were blessed to have June here with us for 92 years, which only seems like yesterday because June stayed young at heart and never stopped giving her love to everyone she encountered. June your work here on earth is done and the world is a better place because you gave of yourself to make all who were around you lives better. We all say in prayer “A Job Well Done Rest In Peace”. The Kingdom of Heaven awaits you with all who have gone on before you to greet you at the “Pearly Gates”. Your warmth and love will live in our hearts forever, until we meet again.
