  3. My heartfelt condolences. I love the photo of your mom, Mrs. O’Connor, and my mom from their walks to get their morning coffee and muffins. God bless. Thinking of you.

  4. Dear Gerry, Deb, Timmy, Kathy, Mary and Peter, My heartfelt condolences to all of you. Our mothers were so very close and they really found friendship together in addition to being siblings. I recall vividly growing up that whenever those two were on the phone together, they were not to be disturbed! Whenever we had to go to the Hamden Plaza, my mom always ‘had to stop’ on our way home at your house. Knowing that your mom, our mom and their siblings are all together now brings peace for me, hoping it does for you as well.

  5. To Gerry, Debbie, Timmy, Kathy, Mary, Peter and the rest of your families, I am so very sorry for the loss of your mother. I cannot imagine the loss of both of your parents and such a very short period of time. I have so many fond memories growing up as cousins and the many get-togethers at Grandma’s house and our annual visits to Maryland and Connecticut. I do find comfort knowing that your mom and dad are together again with so many family members gone before them. My heartfelt condolences and love to you all.
