  1. Dearest David,
    You have been a loving and devoted son, and it has been an honor to care for your mother. Thank you for entrusting me with her care.

  2. My Dear Dawn,

    Thank you always for being there for my mother, and I thank you for being the kind, caring and strong person that you are. You have been my lifesaver when I was not there. Without you, I could not handle all the things that has happened all through these years. You have been such a great friend with my dear mother, and you became a good friend to me. May God Bless You Always. With my great gratitude and love,

    David

  3. Sadly, I found out just today through research on the internet that my dear Aunt Elsie passed away last December 2015. Aunt Elsie was my very, favorite aunt. She was my mother’s sister. Aunt Elsie often talked about how much she loved my mother, Catherine, and how good Catherine was to her growing up.
    I have fond memories as a child visiting Aunt Elsie and Uncle Bob in Danvers MA spending time playing with her sons. Back when life was simpler, it was a treat to go to Salem Willows to enjoy the park and the festivities.

    May you rest in peace with your family, Aunt Elsie.
