Rest in peace dear friend. You truly were one of a kind! Always spoke your mind and told it like it was. Loved the way you laughed, I think I will miss that most of all, I can hear it now, it was so contagious and wicked! You continued to carry on and smile through all the pain life threw your way. You went through so much in your brief and fleeting lifetime. Enjoyed working together at F.U.H. as Respiratory Therapists in the 1970's. Wayne and I will always remember you behind the bar at Marconi's, you sure knew how to make a drink. Our daughters loved their shirley temples with extra, extra cherries! Enjoyed running into you at Nello's, later at the "99."
I know in my heart you are finally at peace and in a better place. I'm thankful for your love, all the laughter and our sincere friendship. Wayne and I will miss you, Autumn and Lea, too.
Thanks for the memories! See you on the other side. Hopefully there' a Bar and you are in charge! We'll miss you. Love, Valeri Bolduc and Family
