To The Massey Family,

We were lucky enough to have lived next door to Harry, Irene, Kevin and Johnny for many years, and we were more than next door neighbors. Their generousity and kindness and welcoming ways, were the foundation of our neighborhood.

We were friends, we loved and cared for each other like family, and shared so many wonderful memories on Morin Avenue.

Barbecues, baseball games, Ray's Roller Rink, Waterfront Restaurant and so many, wonderful times that will live on in our hearts forever.

Love and sympathy,

The Touloumjian Family
