Laura & Linda. I don´t know if you remember me, but we used to walk to Second Hill Lane school together. I lived on Meadowbrook and would walk to your house on Nichols and then we´d run the rest of the way together. Funny what you remember. Take care, and condolences.

My prayers are with you girls and family's. She was a wonderful, beautiful woman blessed to have her in my life remember when Uncle Jim brought her home to Ct.
RIP Aunt Marge

Your Mom was an awesome person! I used to see her in S R all the time. She always had a big smile on her face! I am so sorry for your loss, Laura, Linda, Lisa and family. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
