We loved being a friend and a neighbor to your Mother and Grandmother
for many years together at our mutual Agawam Beach homes! She and your Dad/Grandfather were active and caring members of our little beach community!
We shared many gatherings, personal stories and dinners out together. It was very obvious to all of us that their children and grandchildren were extremely important to your Mom and Dad.. They delighted in every family event and in every important life experience of each of their children and grandchildren. Your Mom and Dad both enjoyed their lives and tloved the many informal social occurrences we had every day in our neighborhood.

We will miss your Mom. She saw the best in all of us and was very kind to everyone she met!

Janice, I am so sorry to hear about your Mom. I always remember her as smiling as she sat with your Dad on the rear deck of the house. Tom M.

Doris and Bob (and Janice and Bobby and Piper) were wonderful neighbors of ours on Woodland Road for many years.

I am so sorry to hear about her passing and I pray that her soul rests in peace.

Love and condolences to her Family.
