Best grams ever
Great memories of all our years working at the VA and into retirement. You are with your beloved son Ron and resting in peace.
My condolences to the family of Christine. We went to Hillhouse together and she hasn’t changed in all those years. I also remember your dad from Troup Jr. High. Sorry for the lost of both parents. We have fond memories of our growing up years in the ’50’s.

Condolences to the family. Christine and I grew up together on Goffe St and were classmates at Baldwin, Troup and Hillhouse. She had a warm heart, was a kind person. And will be missed dearly
