Dear Linda, Lorraine, Richard, Michael and families - I am very sorry to hear of the passing of your mother Loretta. My mother will miss her also. I will always remember with much fondness, even though much time has passed, the childhood fun times and adventures we shared growing up our Peabody neighborhood, the walks to and from the parochial grammar school, your mom feeding us lunches in the backyard in the summer. I especially remember the fun times we all had on the summer trips to the Maine camp when your father was alive. It is very hard to lose a parent and my prayers go out to you all.

Jeannette and I are truly sorry for your loss. She is now in a much better place than we are. I am sure that she is with your dad right now. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. We will be lighting a candle for your mom after Sunday mass.

Your friend,

Louis
