Greg, Our sincere condolences to you and your family. The passing of your Mother leaves an emptiness in our hearts. She was a bright candle of friendliness here at Ferncroft Tower.
With fond remembrances, Mary Ellen & Grant Moulaison – 306 Ferncroft Tower
Greg & Family, Our heartfelt sympathies. Your mother (and father) were the first Ferncroft neighbors we met when moving in over 17 years ago; they were very welcoming and made us instantly feel at home. Mary was a very proud, active and independent woman; our 11th floor neighborhood will never be the same without her cheerful, smiling presence. We share your loss, sincerely, Michael & Loretta Stafford – 1110 Ferncroft Tower
Cliff, Noreen and Greg:
I remember how much happiness my mother and father had spending time with your Mary and Cliff, especially at the Village Green back in the 60s. After my father died your father was very attentive to my mother, and we will always be grateful for the kindness and for being such great neighbors on Summer Street.
Best wishes to you all

And also for the Mills family with gratitude
Dear Ambrose family,
Please accept my heartfelt sympathy and condolences. I saw your mothers death in the Globe today. Words seem inadequate to express my feelings in your time of grief and loss. I fondly remember Mary and Cliff, who were most welcoming upon my marriage to Bill Oliver. We had good times in our get togethers and in later years I enjoyed talking to Mary and always enjoyed her friendship on the occasions we reconnected. I also had the privilege to share time with Greg at the Beth Israel Hospital hospital. My thoughts, prayers and blessings to you all.
Yours truly,
Virginia Oliver
Cliff, Noreen, and Greg,
Condolences
