Hello Hope & family, I have always viewed your family as being a wonderful example of the all American family. Close family ties, deep faith and connection to the church. I was always in awe of how active your grandmother was and mostly how closely your mom resembles your grandmother. May your grandmother rest in peace, Love Karolyn Dunn
I am so sorry for your loss. I enjoyed knowing Mary while she was at Hamden Congregate. I work as an attendant there. We often talk of Mary. May she rest in peace.
