Dear Martin, Lorri and family,
My sincerest condolences on the loss of your dad, especially since it is so close to the loss of your mother. I will always remember your dad from my time as an employee at Washington Savings. He was gentlemanly, kind and always had a cheerful word for me. Your losses are definitely heaven's gain.

Pop,

I still can't believe you are gone. You were one great person and grandfather. You couldn't ask for a better one. You will be forever missed. Words cannot express how we feel without you here but we understand it was your time to go. You are now with your Nonie. We will take comfort in all the great memories we have had with you...Meals at the diner, fishing, going down the shore, your singing and little jokes. Thank you for being you!

Love and miss you always,

Lindsay
