Tom. Dennis, Terri My thoughts are with you. What an incredible mother you had so many years to enjoy. Peace be with you all.
Tom, Dennis, and Terri, I guess we're all sons of one mother in some sense, right? I look at your mom's picture here and think of all the days she welcomed Dennis and me in from the snow, or the heat, all the summer nights she worked outside with you and your dad on the lawn, and one funny memory I have of her in coveralls and a painters cap helping out that one year you scraped and painted the house. I think of all the wonderful and simple times that we enjoyed as children and that she and your dad and all our parents made for us and gave us. I feel blessed to have known her and wish you all consolation in your sorrow on her loss and yet celebration of her life, one very well lived indeed. Patrick
My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. Both of your parents treated me like family when I was there.
Dennis and family---you are in my thoughts and prayers. What a beautiful lady
Dear Tricia and family, So sorry for your loss. She looked like a lovely person. May God be with you and your family and give you comfort and peace. Diane ODonnell
