Muffy and family, I am so sorry for the loss of your Mom. I remember she invited our class from Pakachoag School to your home for a class picnic. She was a sweet lady. I hope all of your treasured memories bring comfort to you all during this difficult time.

Doris was a sweetheart...I worked with her many years ago at O'Coins, and she was just a lovely lady to talk to. I was just a teenager but she was always kind to me and we shared many talks. I am so sorry to hear of her passing, God Bless.
