Dear Janet and Emma,

Not a single school day went by without a loving wave from your Mom and Grandmother. It's what made Charles St such a special stop. Now, I look to your porch and know she's smiling with God and guiding the children in Heaven. Mrs. Sheehan helped me in more ways than you'll ever know with her kind words and assuring smile.......I will continue to look up to your porch and wave with memories and love. My deepest sympathies, Mrs. Connie Lovett; Bus #7

To my Sheehan cousins - Eileen, Rick, Janet, Bruce and Julia:

I was saddened to hear the news about your mother's passing. My thoughts are with you and all your families during this difficult time.

Remember that we're connected by more than blood, we share many memories and family legends and (9 sided!) stories. I wish I could be there to listen, to remember or to offer whatever support or comfort that can be gained at her memorial. Please accept this cosmic hug across the miles as substitute until the time we see each other again. Until then, know that you all are in my thoughts and I wish you Peace!

Dear Family,

We were deeply saddend when we heard about Jean's passing. She was a wonderful, warm, and compassoinate person. Jean was a big part of my sister Carole's life, and always found the time to talk with Carole and help her through difficult times; they last spoke on Christmas Eve. She came to many Casey/Joyce family gatherings, and was always a delightful addition to the celebration! Your mom was a splendid women and you should be proud of the legacy she left behind. The memories you share will keep her beautiful spirit alive. May she rest in peace, and may all the love she cultivated during her life, be embedded in her beauftiful new spirit, and comfort her in her new home with God.

Respectfully,
The Joyce Family
Mrs. Ruth Joyce, Carole, Billy, David, Nancy, Maria, John, Ellen and Ruthie.
