Sorry for your loss. I remember as a kid getting some hand me downs from you guys (I think some hockey skates). Your mom and dad were so nice! Herb and Linda Sostek, were my parents. Again, my condolences. Josh Sostek

Nannie Ces - You have always been and always will be one of the most incredible and inspiring women I will ever know. From an early age I envied your grace, class and elegance. You were the only person I knew who, at 75 years old, could look as amazing as you did in a strapless ball gown. Although as far as anyone was concerned you weren't a day over 60.
I will forever cherish the memories I have, especially our movie dates and shopping trips at the Pru and summers on the Cape, the family reunions were always a family favorite.
You are my inspiration for life, because of you I will live life to the fullest (and marry a rich man, ha ha) and for that there are no words to say how much I thank you and how much I love you. I will continue to try and lead a life even half as amazing as yours, though I certainly have my work cut out for me.
Forever in our hearts
Love, your adoring granddaughter

I am very sorry to hear of your mom's passing. The Sosteks, Libons and Mongeons on Turner Terrace make up the happiest memories of youth. I can remember driving our bicycles around the circle in front of our houses - sometimes in our pajamas! And remember when I married Bruce and Marie Murphy came all dressed up like it was a real wedding? Such good memories. It would be great to have a reunion sometime if possible. I'll host at my house in western Mass if we can pull it together.

Love to you all - Sandy Mongeon

Donny, Ellen and Bruce...I am so very sorry to learn about your mom's passing.......I have wonderful memories of the times that your mother and father and Ed and I spent together....When we all met it was love at first sight! We became close friends and all enjoyed each others' company so much.......We joined your parents in N>H. many times.......your dad was always introducing us to new experiences, but the one I remember with clarity was when we had target practice .....we were in n.h. and all followed your dad into the backyard.....there he had set up a target and we were to try our hand at shooting....we each had a turn with rifle which we all found very exciting....When it came to my turn, i lifted the gun...shot at the target and got a bull's eye! You can imagine the stir that caused!....
Another time, your dad was all excited about grilling a steak dinner...but first...we all had to help bring up lots of firewood..and then, and only then, would we be rewarded with that steak dinner...and so we did! Keep your memories of your parents close to your hearts..
love,

Ellen, Donald & Bruce,
I am so very sorry to hear of the loss of your mother. I have such wonderful memories of her and your whole family. She was so kind to me when I was growing up. I spent many a morning at your house on the way to school (often joining in breakfast). You are all in my thoughts and prayers. May you be comforted during this difficult time.

My husband Steve and I were so sorry to hear of Ces's passing. She was a lovely friend and a glorious free spirit who will be missed by those who were touched by her warmth, grace and love. It was a treat to have known her and I shall think of her often and always with a smile. Sincerely, Marcia Smith
