Bobby,
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Your mom was such a lovely lady and wonderful role model. I am eternally grateful to her for driving me to CCD class on Wednesday mornings when we were in elementary school. At the time, I am sure that I didn't appreciate it the way that I do today. I know that she is in heaven.

Dear Nancy, Bobby, and Fred,

This message of sympathy and and remembrance is from your old neighborhood childhood friend, Linda Tetreault. I'll never forget your mother (and father, and Patty) and growing up with all of you. We had the best times playing in your basement, playing Man from UNCLE, swimming in your little backyard pool, playing endless hours on your swingset, and, I even remember when Bobby was first born and had lots of appointments to get her baby shots. Your mother would be singing in the kitchen window making up her own lyrics to an old tune about Bobby going for a visit to the pediatrician. I have so many fond memories of all of you, and, now also having lost both of my parents, fully appreciate the immensity of your own loss. May your wonderful, dear mother rest in peace as she is reunited with your dear father. May you find peace, comfort, and support from each other.

Your old friend,

Linda

Rest in peace Aunt Arlene. We remember all the good times like your backyard barbecues. Your love of burnt Deutschmacher hot dogs is now something you passed onto us. We will miss you but know that you are in heaven looking down on us with a big smile.
Love
Ray and Marylou

Bobby and all the Dooleys, my deepest sympathy on the loss of your mom. I have so many memories of her that make me smile, usually the response to you doing something you shouldn't have been doing! A phone call from Florida at the inopportune moment when you were throwing an impromptu party where the whole hockey team showed up, yours and my response to some illicit behavior "But we were with Brenda!" which of course made it ok. But my very favorite is my still my mom tracking down you, me and Brenda at the movies to head over to Memorial, because your mother had fallen and was in the ER. We got there, you sized up the situation, realized she had a fracture and wanted to go for ice and she said "Why don't we just wait for the real doctor?" It's the classic example of a mother not understanding their child could actually BE a real doctor; I still tell this story today. I hope these memories and so many more help you get through this and understand how very blessed you were to have her, and for as long as you did (realizing this was a great comfort to me when my mom passed).

Bobby and Nancy,
As you know, we feel deeply that your mother is very much a member of our family. We will miss her laughter, her insightful wit and that precious and rare gift to joyously revel in her own occasional frailties.

We will always learn from her joyous life.
With love, Maureen and Joe...
