I would like to offer my sincere condolences for the loss of your dear loved one, Jeanne. May you find comfort in your loving memories, and in God’s promise to soon “swallow up death forever…and wipe away the tears from all faces.” (Isaiah 25:8) God also promises of a time soon when ” no resident will say : I am sick.” (Isaiah 33:24) That is a wonderful time to look forward to!

To Charlie, Robyn, Charlene, and all extended family and friends.
I am deeply saddened for the loss of your loved one, Jeanne. My deepest condolences to the family and all who loved her. I helped take care of Jeanne in her last few months. It was both an honor and blessing getting to know her. We bonded pretty quickly. She was so patient and kind. Never complained. She was so easy to love. Seeing her smile or making her laugh brought so much joy to my heart. When I played religious music for her a calm and peacefulness came over her and you could see it all over her face and in her eyes. It brought tears to me eyes. We laughed together, cried together, sang together and had deep conversations together. Such a beautiful soul. She talked of Mother Mary quite often and I’m sure she’s up there with Mary with their arms open wide pouring down all their love to family and friends through this difficult time. God Bless

With deepest sympathy on the loss of your mother/wife Jeanne. My dad, William Gill sends his regards as well to Charlie and the family. I remember going with my mom as a child to visit the house in Westford and then on to pick strawberries with Robin and Charlene. It’s been a long time for sure but the memories are always with me.
Rest in Peace.
