Joyce, this spring through a Mercy High newsletter, I found your mother passed away last year. I often think of you and your family and spending time at your house on Akron Street. Your mother was very kind to me on many occasions. Belated condolences. I know it is hard to lose a mother. Mine died about 9 years ago.
I have wondered over the years how to find you, when I come back to NY state for visits. [I live in WI now.] My condolences to you, Judy, Dick and your families. Erna Emmighausen [Kelly]
Dick,
Tammy and I are sorry to hear of the passing of your mother.
Judy, Joyce, Dick, and families,
So sorry about your mom’s passing. I have many fond memories of our childhood when our parents would get together – either in Rochester, Webster or at our home in Shortsville. May all the loving memories help you through this very difficult time. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time.
Dick and Jane,
I am so sorry to hear of Mom’s passing. She certainly led a full life.
Thoughts and prayers to you and the family.
Marie Statt
