Though her smile is gone forever
and her hand I cannot touch
I still have so many memories
Of the one I love so much.
Her memory is now my keepsake
Which with I'll never part.
God has her in his keeping
I have her in my heart.
Sadly missed but never forgotten.
Love you always Grammie!! <3

Mrs. Degnim was a pleasure to work with, very funny even when she was not feeling well. She often spoke very lovingly of her family. I'm very sorry for your loss of this special lady.

Steven, Mary, Kathy & Tom,
Aunt Bunny was the most "fun" aunt that I had. I remember fondly, going to your house in Dedham and Franklin when we were all so young. Aunt Bunny always had a smile and her laugh!..it was musical! Right to the end, she imparted words of wisdom to me...you were all lucky to have her as a Mum as we were to have "Aunt Bunny". She is at peace now with her beloved "Vin" and devoted Charlie. My sincere sympathy, Your cousin, Eileen
