I am so sorry to hear about your dear mom. She was a special lady and I have many memories of her and Dunstable Rd growing up. I am thinking of all of you during this difficult time. Sending warm hugs from Colorado.❤️❤️❤️

Good memories of your mom when she worked at Duso with my mother (Doris Fontaine). Your mom was a strong woman. I thought of her every time I took a right turn onto Pine and saw the house. Your mother was a strong woman in a male dominated business. So sorry for your loss.

Thank you Nancy. I do remember her speaking of your Mom. I think I also remember her visiting Doris at Westford
House. I am very glad that my Mom is now at peace and painless, as I am sure you feel the same about your Mother.

We will all miss you in our daily lives as you were there all the time for whomever needed you. You loved us all and we all loved you back. Hoping you are safely “home” now with Dad, parents, brothers and sis in laws, grandparents and all family and friends you missed so much.

Hi Mom
Happy Birthday!!! You would be 94 today. Everybody remembers. I went to the cemetery today – did you gear me sing happy birthday? I know I know I cannot carry a tune! Kristin, Savannah, and Aleighanna went to visit too and brought 3 painted stones. Karin and family didn’t visit but did think of you in Virginia. We miss you lots and pray that you are with Dad and everyone else!!!!
Goodnight, Love you forever.
