Dear Peter and Jane and families! Ray and I would like to express our sincere sympathy in the loss of your Mom! She will always be with you with the memories you have of her! Sending prayers and hugs at this difficult time!! Love, Marg
I was sorry to read of Marjorie’s passing and I offer my condolences to the family. Many years ago – between 1967 and 1975 I worked in the Registrar’s Office with Marjorie and she was a wonderful work colleague. I haven’t seen her since but my thoughts often go back to those days when life was somehow simpler. Again, my condolences.
Dear Jane and Peter. I just saw your Mother’s obituary on the funeral home site. Please accept my sincere sympathy. I have many memories of my parents and I enjoying picnics at Webster’s Falls with your family. I know my parents considered your parents to be among their good friends. I’m sure your memories will bring you comfort as mine do when I think of my parents.
