Lea, Kellie, and Michael,

I'm so sad to hear of your Mom's passing. Wow ... she was so much a part of my early days on Snow Terr/Bond St. She always made me laugh and I'm sad that we never got to catch up in these later years. You all were a big part of me growing up .... fun times. Love to you all and hopefully someday Lea we can chat again. Rest in peace Jean....

Dear Jean,

I am your sister's niece, Ellen (Kirby) Lavoie on the Cafferty side. I've met you many times through my favorite auntie Janet ...your sis. You were so lucky to be part of such a big loving clan (on all sides) You were always smiling and a real hoot every time I met you. Now Auntie Janet hopefully has someone to help tip the bingo luck a tad bit over to both of your sides. RIP and my sincere condolences to your rather large family. Godspeed.
