To Uncle John, Chris, John, and MiMi,
We were very sad to hear of the passing of Auntie Chris. She was a wonderful woman to all who had the pleasure of knowing her. I will never forget the kindness all of you showed my sister Kim and I when we were very young and often stayed at your house on River Street next to Nana’s. I always felt part of the family and it was because of the sense of family that you all instilled in us as young kids. Auntie Chris was the cornerstone. We loved her. Chris, Kathy, Kailin and Hannah.
Dear Chris, very sorry to hear of your mothers passing. We are unable to be with at this time ( out of state ) but our thoughts are with you and Steve and Miss Lily at this sad time.
Chris and Steve:
I am saddened to hear of the loss of Chris’ mother, Christine Kelley. I behalf of Steve and myself, I would like to extend our condolences to the both of you and your family. I am sure that Lily will miss her also. There is a special bond between children and their grandparents.
If there is anything that we can do to make things a little easier, please let us know. We will see you soon.
Bob and Steve
My thoughts and prayers are with all of you during this difficult time. Mrs. Kelley was a super lady and I’ve thought of her often over the years. May your memories bring you comfort. With deepest sympathies,
Chrissy Regan-Smythe
Dear John, We are so sorry to hear of your loss. Your family continues to be in our daily thoughts and prayers. A fifty three year marriage is an amazing tribute to you, Chris, and to your family.
May her soul rest in peace,
May your sorrow fade with time;
May you find happiness through memories,
And treasure the time you shared.
May God bless you and your family.
