Dear Aunty Gail, Uncle Walter, & Nicole,
You all know me i'm Sarah Goulet. I am very sad about the loss of Deidre and it's just hard to believe that we will never see her again. I miss her sooooooo much. I have such good memories of when she used to babysit me and take me out to the dock at the "Big Beach." The song I Miss You by Miley Cyrus make me cry everytime because it makes me think of her. Especially the line that says "I miss your smile" because she had always had a smile on her face.
Love,
Cousin Sarah

No bond is as great as that between a parent and child. My deepest condolences are with you as you grieve. May God give you the strength to sustain you at this most difficut time. I remember seeing you and your beautiful daughters at the Rockingham Mall many years ago, I believe they were teenagers at that time and thought to myself Wow how much they resemble you and Walter. You will be in my thoughts and prayers forever.
Sincerely,
Linda Hanson (retired Raytheon employee) We go back many years at Raytheon.

I am so sorry for your loss. Deidre was the most amazing person I have ever met. She taught me so much that I will forever hold with me. She was always there for anyone who needed her. She loved her friends with all of her heart, and she loved all of you more than anything else. She was my very best friend and I am so blessed and thank God that I got to have her apart of my life. I am always here for all of you, and I always will be. I love you!

Dear Budzyna family,
I am so sad about Deidre. I can't imagine how horrible this must be for all of you - but I know how lucky Deidre was to have all three of you for her family. She was loved, cared for and happy with you - and she loved you as much as you loved her. I have so many happy and fond memories of her when I tutored her. She was a lovely and happy girl and I am so, so sorry.
