Dear Kath, Pat and families,
Ronnie and I were so sorry to here of your Mother's death. Seems like yesterday, we were sitting around singing every song we ever knew. Our famous trip to Wildwood, NJ will forever be one of my fondest memories. Just think of George Ramey and all the fruit!!! It still makes me laugh. Your parents were wonderful to all of the Rocky Mount crazies. I know Pete, Charlie, Bill and Lee are glad they are all together again. Just remember what your mother always told us "Ladies don't smoke!" Just keep the hairspray and toothpaste handy at all times.
Love, Margaret and Ronnie

Hi Kath,
I am sorry to hear about your mom, I am happy that you had a chance to spend some time with her in Charleston in February. The picture of
you, Dad and your Mom at dinner one night was a very nice picture and your mother looked very pretty and happy.
Mom's are special people and I know this must be difficult for you, I hope the memories will always make her still feel part of you.
I know Dad said there was going to be a service in New Hampshire this weekend and that on Sunday you will pay respect at sunset. We
will be thinking of you extra during these times.
Take care and hopefully we will see you in England this summer, not sure but it would be nice if we could both get over at the same time and
be able to see you and Dad.
Love,
Michelle, Gary and Marley

We will not see her for a while,
We'll miss her love and grace.
An emptiness will fill our hearts
That no one can replace.
But, one day we will wake to find
She has returned once more
To live within our dail lives
With memories of yore.
Of happy days and family days
That we will share forever
And know within our hearts and souls
We'll always be together.

I am so very sorry, I know this will leave a big void in your lives, especially Pat. Please offer condolences and love to your family from us.
Margaret called earlier to let me know, she read the obit to me, so very sweet. Your Mom was a grand cook, the first sub I ever had was when she bought all the wonderful bread for subs plus turkey and ham. I had NO idea sandwich could taste that good! Sweet memories..hold on tight to them all.
Love,
Frankie & Harry J.

To All My Family - I would like to say it has been an honor to have Grand Mom in my life. Even though it was for only a very short while, I feel like I knew her always.

Pat, Bill and family,
I was heartbroken to hear of Marie's passing. She was a one of a kind soul always bringing a bright spot when she came to the salon. I always looked forward to her visit and conversations. We talked about all the worlds problems and all the worlds gifts and she always left me with a smile. We talked about so many things; recipies, life experiences, love and the crazy world we live in. But most of all we talked about our families. She loved her family with all her heart. Her face would light up when she talked about her grandchildren and what was happenning in there lives. She had a wit and a deep wisdom that I will always cherish. I was blessed to have had such a wonderful friend, she was a gift to all who knew her. I will miss her smile and the twinkle of mischief in her eyes, heaven is a better place with her in it.

Kathleen & John,
I just got Carole’s note about your Mother. I saw her at the festival, all dressed up, elegant, vivacious, and so like I want to be as time goes along. I am so glad I got to meet her for an instant in time. I can understand where your life and energy comes from Kathleen - having met her on the path in her wheel chair and costume. What a lady! My heart and thoughts are with you both.

My thoughts and prayers are with you all. I remember Marie as so very kind, yet with a razor-sharp wit. I remember her being so grounded in her spirituality, yet always eager to enjoy some mischievous fun. And above all I remember her generosity.
You'll be in my thoughts in the days and months ahead.

Hello Rosses,
I am very very sorry and sad to hear of your/everyone's loss. She was a very sweet woman and I am sure was very grateful for everything you did for her, as I am sure you are grateful for everything she did for you.
Hope things are going as well as they can for you right now, and if you need any help with anything or strange blue brownies, I've got your back.
