Monica, Tommy and family- Sorry for your loss. I have not been up to date with Livonia in quite some time. I have fond memories of your Mom “Chick” sending me (Nancy) off to school in the morning. She would braid my hair every day. Monica and I would watch Sesame Street and Tommy was just a baby. Your Dad “Jack” was always a lot of fun. My brother Scott and I would visit him in the barn when he was working, prior to his days @ Kodak. We lived next door on Livonia Ctr. Road. The Thompson family.
Dear Monica, Tommy, and family-
My heart broke hearing about Aunt Chick’s passing. Trust me I know how you’re both feeling right now. I am glad she is no longer suffering. I’m sure she is having a blast being with Uncle Jack again. I know my mom is also glad to have her dear sister by her side. Who would have ever thought we would both loose our parents when they were so young. Hugs and love to all of you. Keep fighting and find peace in the fact she is pain free. Love you- Amy
I love and will miss you so much! Go and celebrate with Mom & Dad and all the kids. We will see you again and celebrate together. Love you so much!!
Ellie & Kevin Wilcox
