Ginny, Jackie, Bunga, Kev and Jimmy,

I just learned about your mum. I was visiting Greg at the hospital yesterday (3/16) and his wife Heather told me. Sorry I did not know in time to express my condolences in person. I regret that deeply.
Your friend,

Dicky

To The Conway Family,

I am so sorry to hear of the passing of Grace. She was a wonderful lady. I remember growing up on Prospect Ave and she was always making sure we were safe outside and no one had run us over.(you know how we always were in the street) May God bless you all in this most difficult time. You now all have a new guardian angel to watch over you.

Dear Nana,
Today I was remembering all the great memories that I have of you. Our trips to Woodman's, Cold Spring with Gramp and Aimee and of course our trips to Florida. I can still hear you singing "Sleepy Time Gal" just like you were right beside me. We all miss you terribly but know you are no longer suffering which brings us comfort. I am hoping that heaven is what you told me you wanted it to be--- Neptune Road with all the old gang!
You were the best Grandmother anyone could ask for and I will cherish all the memories I have and always keep you in my heart!
Rest in Peace Nana....
Love,
Shannon, Brian and Eilish

Nana, You meant the world to me. Your struggle is over. I take solace in knowing you are with Gramp reliving your wonderful life together. Don't worry about us, although I know you will. You were the standard by which all grandmothers should be measured. I will see you again someday. Now rest...Love Sean, Elyssa Asher Brayden
