Pauline, Stephanie and Jake - I miss your parents and their beautiful smiles. They were so supportive and became such wonderful friends who I will never forget. Donna and I had so many good chats at the reception desk. We became close over the years. Your Dad was such a gentleman-polite and calm. Thank you for inviting me to celebrate your parents today. The Mass at St. Paul's was so meaningful. The weather was perfect under the tent at SSCC. Thank you for including me. It was a special day - Your parents were so special. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. Sincerely, Joan Kannegieser, Marshfield, MA

When I think of your mom, I immediately think of her warm smile. She was a beautiful person, inside and out. I’m so sorry to hear the news of her passing. I cherish the letters she has written me over the years, I loved her so much (loved your dad, too, with his heart of gold). I would love to join you for the service in July in Hingham. Much love, Cousin Susannah (Pierce), Walter’s daughter

Dear Pauline, Stephanie and Jake,
We are so very sad to hear of your mother’s death, our deepest sympathies to all of you.
We first met your parents when they moved to Pampa. Only your mother could act thrilled to be there when all you could see was the horizon with a handful of trees here and there.
I have always admired her strength and optimism for that. She had such a wonderful, welcoming smile. We will always treasure the friendship that we had with your parents.
Love,
Bob and Cathy Cotter

Pauline, Stephanie and Jake, we send our deepest sympathies. Your mother was a dear friend of Dave's Mother and Father, and Dave shared a special bond with her. We lived in France while you were there, and that is when I met your parents. We saw your parents in Paris several times. They charmed me with their radiance and dynamism. We remained dear friends all these years even though we live on the other coast. While we're sad to lose them, we are grateful for our wonderful memories with them.

With love,
Nancy and Dave Yewell

Pauline, Stephanie, and Jake...I'm so sorry for the loss of your mom and dad. Two really incredible people and parents and friends of our family. Your mom was such a lovely, warm, compassionate lady. Reading her obituary made me cry and smile at the same time. Her smile was glorious and bright, and her devotion to all of you was obvious in everything she did. She will be missed, and now she's dancing with your dad in heaven. May her soul rest and may all of you find comfort knowing what an amazing mark she left on everyone she came in contact with.
Keeping you all in prayer

What a fascinating and throughly alive woman your mother was. I would have loved to have been lucky enough to meet her, but in your irrepressible positivity and your love of family and friends, I know that I largely have. I'm so sorry for your loss, especially back-to-back like this, and may her memory be a blessing. I wish you strength.

To the Youngs’ kids and their kids—never was there a house filled with so much love, even as we think our own are bursting at the seams. Or so much joy, even as our own faces hurt with silly grins. Chaos and serenity intermixed with hectic routines and elegant festivities. Are you getting the picture? Donna’s flair, John’s love of cooking and wines, even while introducing us in the 70’s to grilled kielbasa! SO many of us the beneficiaries, with abundant memories. For you, too. So we can honor them both by passing it forward! Much love to all of you, Eleanor & Jim
