  15. I first time i meet Cousin Nora was at her mother & fathers house in Manchester by the sea Mass in 1979 and over the years i have stayed at her family home.
    She was a perfect host looking after us making us feel at home,she was a strong, loyal, caring women.
    She was a wonderful mother to the 3 lads Jeff,Eric& Adam and to her and there credit have all done well for there selfs.
    Nora was a keen tennis player i played once, with me thinking she was only small and 10 years older than me, but she had me running every where and thrashed me 6-0.

    Nora had a terrific sense of humour, she would like having plenty of laughs when out with me.
    i know she will be missed by family both here and from England, she said to me on numerous occasions will be over to the UK to see where her mother grew up that was my only regret that i was not able to show her mother roots.
    my love goes out to the family during this sad time xxx

  17. Adam, Jeff, Eric, Krista, and the rest of the family – I am deeply saddened to see that Nora has passed. I was a close friend of Adam’s and took a couple trips to Boston where I was fortunate enough to have met Nora. Immediately – I was welcomed and felt “at home” while visiting. I must say that I often think of her humor and the many laughs we had on the back patio overlooking the water. My condolences to the family – and rest assured that Heaven has gained a new Angel.
