We were so sorry to learn of your loss.
Laurie, I know it's small consolation, but when I heard of your father's death, I remembered the time you got to spend with him recently in Portsmouth. I hope you can look to those moments with a smile at this sad time--as you well know, days like those you spent with your dad are precious. I've no doubt he cherished that time with you, too.
Please let us know if you need anything. You are in our thoughts.
best,
Heather and Jeremy

this is Ginger's Mom: I'm so sorry, dear Lady, about Harry. He was such a gentleman, and I seldom saw him, but it was so obvious. The obits were so good---such a wonderful man. You will miss him so and i feel for you---as I still have my Dan and can 'feel' what will be coming my way some day. You are such a lovely lady and I've always enjoyed you at the 'gatherings'. Please be assured that I'm thinking of you today and for awhile because I know it be 'awhile' before you recuperate from this time in your life. I'm not coming today as Ginger needs me to pick up the kids while she comes your way. Perhaps we'll see you this next year---at least ONCE:):) Aletta Schneider

Teresa,
My dad called me on Wednesday to let me know about your husband. I'm very sorry for your loss. I know I met Harry during the times I was at St. Agatha but I never really got to know him. Just to let you know I am in my 27th year of teaching (25 here in New Hampshire)and I always tell students about my wonderful experiences playing in church with you. I also pull out one of my favorite songs that you introduced me to "Baby What you goin' to be" about every three or four years. Believe it or not I can still do a song like that in a public school concert. I guess I'm lucky in that respect.
Again I am very sorry to hear about your husband. Please take care.
Always,
Bill Gibson

My heartfelt sorrow and prayers are with you in the coming days. I am a former St. Agatha classmate of Michelle's and learned of your father's passing from my mother, Donelda who is still living in Columbus.
It is extremely hard to lose a member of the family no matter what their age. I will keep your family in my thoughts.
