Dear Mrs. Maclaskey, I was sorry to hear about your husbands passing. I talked to him about two weeks ago he was asking about Dave Jones. He was a very nice person and a good friend to my parents. The Marines had alot of good times and i'm sure my dad and tom are all talking up there about old times. carol breton

Dear Eleanor, Lorraine, Donna, Joanne and Susan, I would like to extend my deepest sympathy on the loss of your husband/ Dad. He was a fine man and a fun person and loved "his girls". I know you will miss him, but he is at peace now. Your care and presence were very comforting to him, and he was surrounded by those who were most important to him. Sincerely, Maureen E. Burke Amston, CT
