Dear Donna and John;

I just heard from Anne Marie of the passing of your Mom. I only met her a few times and found her to be fun. She was very committed and supportive and it was obvious she was a good friend to you all. She raised you all with love and grace and made life fun. Please know I am thinking of you and will see you when I get home. Take care of each other. Love, Jeanie.

P.S. Your Mom must have been a saint to allow John to be her son-in-law.

Dear Karyn and Family,

We will always remember your mother for the smile on her face, glass in hand and an animal on her lap. She was a very kind fun loving and caring woman who would be saying were all crazy to be driving in the snow to come out and show our support for her and her family. A True Maxine fan she will be missed but never forgotten in future gatherings. I admired her New England Spirit!

Keeping all of you in our thoughts and prayers.

To all the Dion's, your mom was the best. She put up with all of us in the neighborhood and offered up the front yard, the pool and all the rest. I often thought of her while raising small children and thought, hell she did it with 8. Talk about a saint. All of our thoughts and prayers are with you. Love, Caroline Powers and family

Aunt Elaine was truly special! I have many cherished memories...the lively pool parties, Elaine's one-liners, sleepovers at the Dions, and a house filled with laughter. And, she had sound advice for me when I needed it.
Now the great love story - between Aunt Elaine and Uncle Bob - continues...only this time they are together in heaven.

To the Dion Family: Though we moved from Westwood when I was very young, I remember the days when all the neighborhood kids headed to the Dion's for Capture the Flag, a swim in the pool.. or when the pool was empty, setting up the hockey goal! It is a testament to your mother that she and your father were able to create such a great place to grow up - for so many! Great memories - Great days! God bless her!
