Dear Peter, Matthew and Christopher, we heard of your dear mum's passing on our return from holiday and were very saddened by the news. We only met your mum once whilst on a business/holiday trip to the Boston area thirty years ago as my husband worked with your dad and Vinney Murphy. Such a warm. welcoming and lovely lady. Since that first meeting we have kept in touch via her pretty Christmas cards and latterly via email. I shall very much miss her lovely messages and interest in our own sons. I'm sad to think she wasn't to learn of the birth of our first grandson only last week. She would have been so thrilled for us. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. Sylvia and Fred Worth from England.

Dear Peter, Chris and Matt-

Your mother was a treasure and everyone thought so. What a truly elegant but folksy, warm woman she always was. I can still hear her chuckle. She grew up with my dad, you know, and I loved to hear her memories. It was great working at Weston and knowing your dad, mom and all of you and wonderful to just see you boys. I am sorry for this deep loss and we celebrate both their lives with you.
With sympathy, June Field Cloutier

Peter, Matthew and Chris, you don't know me but your mother and mine (Ann Williams) were best friends from childhood until my mother's death in 1960. Your mother always took a special interest in my brother Jim, his family and me and fortunately we were able to see her a few years ago when we were back in MA for a family event. We communicated via email and cards. Having Nita's love was as close to having our mother still with us. I am so sorry for your loss - she was a very special lady and will be missed.
