Dear Roger and family,
I only recently heard of Glenne's passing and am so sorry for your loss. She was a wonderful person, wife, and mother. The warmth she brought into my family's life will always be remembered. Thinking of you.

This morning I was thinking of Michele for some reason (a couple of times a year she "pops" into my mind and I always smile at the memory of her gentle life while she was on this earth). And here I find a tribute to Glenne. Not so odd. I will always remember our neighbors on Front Street, and Mrs. Plante for her dignity and exceptional strength during my childhood with Michele's passing. I've often kept your family in my prayers these many long decades and find a solace that now both Mother and Child are once again joined in a realm that will bring joy and deep happiness to them. To the family I only add that no matter how long the years, so many of us remembered what a truly united family you were and how your example helped to shape our own personal experiences and challenges.

Dear Plante family,

It is with sadness that I read of your Mother's passing. Although you wouldn't know me personally, I just had to write to tell you how fondly I remember your sister Michele. She was such a beautiful person inside and out and just so nice to everybody -- an angel on earth. When I attended her wake, emotions took over and I couldn't control my grief. Even though I had never had the pleasure of meeting your mother, she saw my distress and came and wrapped her arms around me and held me tight...and she did comfort me. I will always remember her act of kindness.

My prayers are with you all.

Suzanne and family. I am so sorry about the loss of your mother. The passing of your mother evoked many warm memories hanging out at the old house in Weymouth. It does not seem so long ago yet it seems like a lifetime. I wish you all well and send my love and support. I will see you this weekend.
Love Bob Aiello and family
