  1. Dear Barbara, I hope you remember me. I am very sorry to hear about Donald. I hope you\’re doing as well as can be expected. I have been living in Texas for 25 years. I have been a high school cafeteria manager for 24 years. I just wanted to thank you for all you taught me about people skills. It has helped me tremendously throughout the years. God Bless you all. Love, Ellie

  2. Dear Linda and Family, I wish to express my sadness for the passing of your Father. I remember, with smiles, your Dad when we were little girls growing up together and how we always managed to try his patience with our never ending giggles and adventures. I can still see him at the stove, cooking up some after work meals and wearing his Borden uniform. How he always teased me about my long hair in the pool filter!! In retrospect, I know that he must have laughed at our antics even if he pretended not too. I have so many found memories of going .down to Linda\’s house.. I am sure your memories of your Father will be with you always as are mine of my Mother who passed away last year. It\’s the most precious gift they gave us, parents who really loved us. God Bless and remember him with smiles after the tears fade. Take care, Love, Jo-Ann

  3. Hi. I went to Washington Jr. High in Meriden with Linda. I was saddened to read of your father\’s passing in the Meriden paper. I would like to send my deepest sympathies to the Schott and Rinaldi families.
