Dear Jen:
Dr. Handler and I have such fond memories of your Mom sitting on the benches with us during Wood Oaks basketball games, convincing her to let you go to GBN with your friends. We are glad you did and we hope that memories will bring you comfort.
Sincerely,
Arlene and Ray Handler

Brian & Ainslie - I am so sorry for your loss. I lost my Dad in February and it is a hard road to be sure...I hope your family can find time between the sorrow and tears to celebrate your Mother's life as we were able to do for my Dad - with all the Irish songs, prayers, stories, pictures, and laughter...Wishing you peace and comfort and sending a prayer your way....

Jerry,we remember so well when you met Helen at Maureen McDonagh and Paul Kerin's wedding. We all loved her and were so happy for you.
We will remember her as the beautiful lass she was then and the wonderful wife and mother she became. Our thoughts and prayers are with you, your children and grandchildren.
