Dear Family,
Betsy and I will always remember the first time we met Mom.
There we were at Aunt Sophie's and Rosie's house. Root beer and ice cream cups were the standard fair. How wonderful your mother was and such a wonderful care giver. Over the years sharing memories together. She is at peace and with the love of her life.
With best wishes and fond memories
Jeffrey and Betsy Hoos

We were saddened to learn of your mother's death. Barbara and I were classmates at B.H.S.N. and remained friends thereafter. Your mom used to bring you often to our house in Fairfield until we moved to PA in 1967. Yearly Christmas cards followed. Our deepest sympathy is extended to the family. Goodbye dear friend.

Dear Ted, Lisa and Sue,
Barbara and I went to Black Rock School, Bassick High, Black Rock Congregational Church and Bridgeport Hospital School of Nursing together. We were dear friends through it all. Although distance prevented us from seeing each other often, the bond between us remained and we truly enjoyed our occasional visits. She was a beautiful person who loved her family and brought joy to many. My sincere sympathy to you at this sad time. Love, Marge Merritt Smith
