Dear Auntie Carolyn, Uncle Ray and Uncle Bill and to my entire family:

My deepest sympathies to all of you on the passing of Grandma. May she be at peace with all those loved ones who have passed before her.

May your keep the memories of her alive and in your hearts and they will get you through the difficult times of the grieving process.

I too have fond memories of her. The poster we all made for her that Mother's Day when she was recovering from her Breast Cancer Surgery. When Grandpa used to tease her about her birthday June 19, 1919, how that still brings a smile to my face and a chuckle because Grandpa would always tell that story while I was around because I found the most humor in it. On Easter when she would give each grandchild the massa bread with the egg in it and the chocolate fruit nut egg. Halloween when we all gathered at her house after trick or treating. And on Christmas Eve at Auntie Carolyn's house when she made the stuffed quahogs and Christmas night when we were allowed to go in the formal living room to open our presents.

Know that all of you are in my thoughts and prayers.

Love to All.

Dear Auntie Carol, Uncle Ray and Uncle Bill and to the rest of my family:

My deepest sympathies on the passing of Grandma. May you always treasure the fond memories you have shared with her and they will help you get through the difficult grieving process. Know that she will always remain in your hearts and she it at peace with all those that have passed before her.

I too have fond memories of her. When Grandpa used to make fun of her about her birthday June 19, 1919. I love that story and it always brings a smile to my face when I think of it. Or Easter when she would get us the little massa bread with the egg in it and the chocolate fruit egg. And Christmas night when she allowed us in the living room to open our presents. The portuguese soup that she used to make.

Know that each and everyone of you are in my thoughts and prayers.

Love to All.
