To the Nieman family:
My sympathy to you in the death of your father and grandfather. He will be greatly missed.
Your mother, Betty, was like a sister to us growing up in Oakland. We all loved her very much. I still think of her as belonging to our family.
I know that the memories you have of your parents and grandparents will help you in your grief.
Sincerely,
Patsy Connolly, daughter of Bridget Connolly of Lawn Street in Oakland.

Our hearts are heavy with sadness to learn of Harry passing. Harry will be missed for his wonderful smile and happy spirit at all times. He was a good neighbor always with that smile and great conversation. Tony and I will miss his friendship. May dear Harry rest in peace and now be out of pain and with the Lords arms wrapped around him for comfort.
Our prayers are with you and you have our deepest sympathy.
