Dana and family,

I am so sorry to hear about the passing of your mom. I still remember how wonderful you were to me when my brother and dad passed. Unfortunately my thank you card was returned back to me because you had moved and I have not been able to contact you since. If there is anything I can do for you please let me know, I mean that. I will never ever forget what a wonderful friend you were to me in my time of need.

Marie was the sweetest, kindest, most wonderful woman I have ever known. Her smile and wit will be terribly missed by all. The reception desk at the Parsons Complex will never be the same. My condolences to her family and I hope they feel some comfort in knowing Marie was loved by all who knew her. Rose Elliott, Milford, CT

To the family of Marie:

Marie was a great presence, light, and all around wonderful and beautiful lady. Though I only met Marie months ago, she always greeted me with a smile and engaging conversation. There will definitely be a void in the Parsons Complex. My thoughts and prayers are with you. I know she will be watching over you all.
