Dear Kristen and Johnny,
Susan and I are terribly saddened with the news your Mom's and our very dear friend's passing. As you know, Sue and I were "best buds" post college and all the years which followed. It was my great joy to have introduced your Mom to my dear friend John Chisholm and delighted in the beautiful married life they shared together, cut way too short by John's early passing from this life.Your mom and Dad loved you two so much! We will cherish the many wonderful happy times we shared together in Scituate, Cohasset and Wellsley with you all and all the Chisholms and Reardons. Rest assured, we will remember your Mom in our daily prayers as we pray for the happy repose of her soul. She brought so much joy to so many of us during her lifetime. May she rest in peace.

Peaceful Passage Arrangement

You were proud of your work until one of the men in Central Market told you he saw you and you better fix it or he,d tell your parents! LoVED your style,spunk,strength,humor and love of life! W I'll miss you greatly- so glad you returned to Scituate for the last few years!FaithE
