  1. I love and miss you Gram!! Best TollHouse cookies around. I still think you had a secret ingredient you didn’t let on too, nobody could make them like you. I wish I could knit like you, but I’m working on it. There’s nobody else like you. Rest easy and give Grampy a big hug for me.

  2. Sending prayers and good thoughts and memories to all. Flora was my ‘neighbor across the street’ on Birch Street for many years. She was a wonderful person. Always happy and smiling, as was hubby, George. God bless. Karen Mellyn Shaw

Visits to the house were always memorable. May God Bless your family during this time of healing. Joanne Levasseur
