I had the pleasure too of knowing her son Quion , also a Boston officer . Mrs. Riley was the epitomy of class , a real Lady in the best way possible , dignity personified .... RIP Mrs. Riley , I'll never forget you !

Millie,
So many years have passed since we grew up together in Charleston. What a group we had and so many fun times. I'm so happy that we were able to spend time together in Boston, to meet your son and his family in Lexington and to see you in Worcester. I will always treasure our friendship.
Your family will be in my thoughts and prayers.

Dear Louis, Alicia, Quion and Larry

My deepest sympathy on the passing of your Mother. She and your Dad were always very sweet and kind to me and my siblings.

She was my Mom's best friend and they talked often despite the miles between them. I was so happy they got to see each other in Boston last April for Jane's memorial service.

Your mother was very proud of each of you and told me about her lovely grandchildren. She did a good job and now she is at peace.

I will miss her.

To my friend Lim:

I cannot put into words how much I will miss you. Your loving words, our very private conversations and the many hours we spent together in happy a sad times. Even though Lim belonged to many organizations and clubs, the most important thing in her life was her family.

Rest in peace my friend.
Love, Mary
