Dear Mom:

We will keep this online guestbook going forever in honor of the computer classes you took at the Senior Center. It will provide a forum for those unable to attend your services to comment on their memories of you. You were always determined to keep up with the times. Words cannot describe how much you will be missed.

Love, Susan

Susan and Patsy: So sorry to hear about Aunt Pat. Just the other day I was reminiscing about the old family gatherings at 410 High St. Those were the days! I can only imagine the family party taking place now with Uncle Jack, Nancy and the rest of the family that have gone ahead of us. I am out of town and will not be back on the Cape till Wednesday but my thoughts and prayers will be with you.
Love, Cousin Ann Christine Dowd
