Mark, Marie & Families,
I was so sorry to hear about your mom passing. Aunt Yvette had a very special place in my heart. I always enjoyed our phone conversations throughout the year (wow could your mom talk) . I loved the way she would tell a story (no matter how many times you heard it). She helped me tremendously when my mom passed away last December. We loved the time we spent with all of you in 2001, we are just sad we couldn't make it back again to see her one last time. I loved our debates about her Red Sox and my Angels, they were always a lot of fun. She was a very special person and I will never forget her. Tara, Alexis and Jordan send their love too. If there is anything we can do please call or email me. I love you guys. Love Mike

Please accept our deepest sympathies for the loss of "Mem." She will be greatly missed by many. My fondest memories of her are seeing her when she spent time with her Grandsons, how happy she was to be with them. She loved them dearly and I know they will miss her so much. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Mark, Marie and family -
So sorry to hear about your Mom. I just saw her a few weeks ago when we stopped by Ma's donuts; it had been quite a few years, but it was really great to see her. Please accept my deepest sympathy, she was a very special lady. I have great memories of her and your Dad at Steve's parents' house; she was always a joy to talk with.
