    Your mother was our neighbor for a lot of years. I remember how she kept a close eye on Tina. When Michael was born she came and checked him out for me told me I was lucky to have a boy after two girls she was her own person that is for sure I know you will miss her. Frank and I am sorry we aren't able to be there he has not been well but our prayers are with you Muriel

    Tina/Family, I am sorry for your loss - I got to really speak and enjoy your mom's company after I moved back to E.Weymouth. We had many a good laugh together. I know how she loved her house there in Weymouth and really did not want to move, but she was very lonely there after your Dad passed. It was never the same after she moved. I still enjoy the beautiful flowers in the spring. She will be missed and as Tina said she is happy in Heaven with her spouse!! All of you are in my thoughts and prayers. Sue
