To Linda and the Boys on behalf of the Belanger Family I would like to express our deepist Condolences for your loss. Mom really enjoyed all the time she spent with Shirley and Paul. I will never forget the Time Mom and I ended up on the same flight back from Florida with Paul and a couple of the boys and we ended up all squeezing into the same vehicle for the ride back to Chelmsford
