Granny was a wonderful, funny, energetic, excellent caretaker. Since I met her, I've observed her selflessness in caring for her family and her open heart. She always treated me well, and we had many good conversations and laughs together. I will never forget such a wonderful woman, and I pray that she rests in peace. She deserves it!

Karen, Marilyn and family, Judy and I send our condolences on Aunt Babe's passing. From my earliest childhood memories to our last get togethers, she was always very positive and upbeat and made me feel welcome. She was one of the last few who still called me Chas. (And although I was well into adulthood before I knew her first name was Regina, I NEVER called her Buttercup). We will miss her.

Dear Karen and Marilyn and family,
I was sad to hear that Aunt Babe had passed. I have many fond memories of hanging out at your house in Stamford, Hammonassett and even in Manchester. Aunt Babe made the best stew! She always had a positive attitude and never did "sweat the small stuff" She took care of her girls and her girls took care of her! She is probably dancing up in Heaven right now. God bless.
