Melissa and Tim, my deepest sympathy. You were so small when your parents trusted me to babysit. I think either 3 or 4 mons. You were on the bottle and I remember giving you your last bottle for the night, and you would fall asleep in a flash

Cyndy and I shared many stories about our kids together. We both went to FHS a year apart. I missed her when she left Sippican where I worked also and I was so sad to hear of her passing. God bless her family, she loved you dearly.

Cindy was just sweet and sincere. My memories include sharing good books, favorite recipes, and shopping expeditions for fun times together with friends and family. I will always treasure our mom and daughter cruise after their high school graduation. My deepest sympathies for Katherine and Melissa and their families.

My condolences to the McCarthy family. I've known Cyndy since my childhood and every now and again we had the opportunity to catch up on things when we would see each other in town.
God bless, my prayers are with you.
