Dear Gig and family:
I'm sorry to learn about the death of your mother. I know she had been in declining health for some time.
Of course, we recall the impact of the Kerivan family at Wellesley High School. It has left a lasting impression especially in the George Kerivan archives.
May you be consoled in knowing that she has gone to God. May she rest in peace,
Tory DeFazio, WHS '55

We extend to you and your family our sincere sympathy. I fondly remember Rita when she visited our family and attended our wedding 50 years ago. Since 1967 we have lived in Arizona so we have not seen her in recent years. Paula Sullivan Gazzola
