Dear John, Bobby, Jane & Stephen,
I was so sorry to hear of Aunt Mary's death. She was so full of life and such fun to be around. I had lunch with her in Naples several years ago and we laughed and caught up - what a delightful lady she was.
I'm sure that you will miss her terribly. My deepest sympathy.

I was so very sad to hear about your mother. Aunt Mary was one of my all-time favorite people. I remember so well all our summers in Norwich Lake and later,our fun visits and lunches in Naples. She was such a kind, caring and up-beat person with a great sense of hunor. I know she will be missed so much by all who had the pleasure of knowing her.
All my symapthy,

Not only was Mimi my grandparents best and most dear friend but she was a wonderful friend to my entire family. We were all so lucky that Mimi was a part of our lives. She was such a beautiful and classy woman that lit up the lives of everyone she was around. She is now at peace with her husband and best friend (my grandmother). We love you!

Mrs. Davis was a wonderful woman. When I first joined Longmeadow COuntry Club, she and I reminised about a baby sitter, Mrs. Mills whom we both used while living on Chalmers Street in Springfield. Mrs. Mills was quite elderly when I moved ther in the 70s', but still active. Mrs. Davis liked to listen to my tales of her with my children. MIMI had never an unkind word for anyone. My condolences to the Davis family. A wonderful family, that benefited from excellent parenting.
