Today life changes forever. One door closes another one we walk into. I spoke to my cousin and he said that you are still here. Just in a different realm. Your abrupt absence has not resonated or set in completely and I’m not clearly sure if it ever will. When I think about you it’s difficult to remain saddened, considering all the priceless memories and love you gave me.

Visitation will be held at the Dolan Funeral Home, 1140 Washington Street, DORCHESTER LOWER MILLS on Tuesday, September 30 at 10:00 AM. Funeral Service to begin at 11:00 AM. Relatives and friends invited. Interment Private.
