I grew up next door to you Doughertys from the time I was a young teen. I knew good neighbors. My mother Etta, had a little sidkick named Larry that was her friend and her his when I was at a stage in my life of growing up and being away. Moms gone now but she left me a note on a small scrap of paper saying she loved me and her daughter in law Bobbin and her grands, and she would see me in heaven. I know that she and Rose are catching up on all the gossip, and watching over us all.

Dear Uncle Frank, Denise, Diane, Frank & LD,
I was saddened to hear about my dear Aunt Rose, but I will always remember the first time we visited your island from South Boston with all of us spending hours on her beach it is a beautiful memory I will never forget and I will always treasure the last visit we had sitting in the kitchen sipping tea and the laughs we all shared. She is an angel in Heaven now watching out for all of us here. I will continue to keep her in my prayers as always.
Kathleen
