As a former teacher and student at MHS, I would like to express my sympathy in the passing of your mother.

Lainey will always be a treasure to me, since I am the oldest cousin. Uncle Freddie and Aunt Helen were a joy to visit - such a happy household! They would invite the whole family every summer for a full day at Malden - then Uncle Freddie would drive us all back to Jamaica Plain - A treasured memory for me! Along with the Needham gatherings.

Thank you all for the kind words…. Much appreciated. Debbie I think we should have a family reunion this summer. Bocci would be a requirement… I have great memories of being in Needham and much of how I feel about family was shaped at that house. Hope all is well… Thank you all...

To the Duffy family: So very sorry to learn of the passing of Elaine. I met her many years ago while commuting from Malden to Boston for work. She was such a beautiful person who will be missed by all.

To the family of ElaineDuffy: Deepest sympathy on Elaine's passing. I was part of a group of five that went to the Boston Symphony with Elaine. She had such an outgoing personality and a great sense of humor. It was always a pleasure to be in her company. She certainly will be deeply missed by many. Elaine and her family will be in my prayers.
