Dear John, Helena & Family,
We are so sorry to hear of your Dad's passing. We only knew him in his later years, once he moved to Sealund Road with you, but what a nice man he was. Our deepest sympathy to you and yours.

Stella, John, Ronnie
I was saddened to hear of Uncle John's passing.
I have some great memories of spending time with him one summer. Listening to tapes in the basement, watching him work in the garage and just hanging out. Remembering the times (not enough) I spent with my godfather John still brings a smile.
You're all in my thoughts and prayers.

I am so sorry to hear about Uncle John. I will always remember the summer of tending the garden with him. He is the reason I have such a green thumb.

Dear Stella,
I was so very saddened to hear of your dad's passing. I know how very close you were to him, and also know from the numerous stories you told of "Dad" that he will live on in your heart forever. May the many warm memories and the thoughts and prayers of friends help comfort you at this most difficult time.

To the Noris Family, I worked briefly with Stella at the Braintree Post Office. I remember how Stella spoke so fondly of her Dad. I am sorry for your loss. May he rest in peace.

What a wonderful grandfather. We couldn’t of ask for anyone better than you. You were always smiling and happy and made everyone else smile with you. I will never forget when you walked me down the isle and our dance to, Grandpa (tell Me bout The Good Old Days) by the Judds. You will always be in my heart.

Mr. Noris,
Sir, I didn't know you but I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice for our Country when you served in the U.S. Army during WW II and for being a member of the Greatest Generation. And to your family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.
