Dear Beverly, Mike and Chris,
I am very sad to hear that your Mother/Grandmother passed away. She was always very kind to me and my children. It was a pleasure to know her.

Dear Bev
I send you my sympathy regarding the loss of Irene. I remember all the trips she made crossing the street to your house with arms full of food. At Halloween the kids love walking up the stairs to her home. My kids always said she gave out the best candy. I admire the close relationship she had with you, Kristopher and Michael. May she rest in peace. Just call if you need anything.

Patty and Michael LeBlanc
