I am so sorry to read of the loss of Grandma Mellor. She was truly a loving person who cared deeply for her family. I wish to extend my deepest condolences to the family in this time of sadness.

To the Mellor Family'
My name is, Kenneth MacDonald. I was so sadden to find that Sandra had passed away. I certinly shear your loss. Although, the years and miles have separated Sandra and me, she has always remained in my heart. My family moved from the Greendale section of Worcester to Castle St. in 1942. Sandra was one of the first frends I made after moving in to the area. We were about five or six years old-possibly a lttle older-at the time, She lived on the corner of Valley and Castle Sts., and I lived in athree Decker at 16 Castle St. I have always cherished those years that we spent playing games together. As we went from adolescence to our teens we started dating. I guess you could say that Sandra was my first love. We would gather at Ma Darlings's (Leona Darling) to liten to records. One of the hottest male vale at that time was "Johnny Ray." I remeber that one of the local theaters, I belive it was the Lowes, was showing a sepcial performance of Johnny Ray-on screen-along with the feature movie. Of courese we had to see it. She also tried to teach me to dance, unfortunately with out mech success.My Grandmother, MacDonald who lived in Rumford, Maine would send a Cristmas package each year. She would always in clude some things for the Darling children. There are so many memories that it's inpossble to metion them here.I will always remeber the cute little blonde-haired gal that may life during those trouble times a little brighter.

Dear Dee, Lori and Jeanne,

I'm very sorry for the loss of your mom. She was a delightful lady, and the memories I have of her when we skated at Mechanics Hall, or sharing a laugh with her at Hooper Street, I'll cherish always. My love to you all.

To Deena, Lori and Jeanne Beth,
Your mother was truly a remarkable person. She was a guiding hand and a mentor to me when I was growing up and was there to offer her support, a listening ear, give advice, voice her opinion, and most important of all, share her love. She and your grandmother will forever hold a special place in my heart as will all three of you.
Love always,
Marion
