To the “girls” – You have my deepest sympathy on the loss of your mom, Anne! Am remembering all the fun times we had with you, your mom and your dad – especially during the summer months. She was a lot of fun and the May kids enjoyed our times together. May she rest in peace!
Love,
Jane May Rocque
Thanks, Janie.
We will always remember the Fourth of July parades at your home! You had such a nice mom and dad. I went to school with Mike at St. Catharine’s. Hope you are all doing
well.
Love,
Diane Heidenreich
Sue, Sorry to hear your mother passed away. Hope warm memories bring comfort. My mom had lived at Elizabeth Residence on Erie St, passed in 2015. Fond memories of you at SCHS and sitting next to you at SCJ long ago. Hugs.

From as long ago as our childhood, we continued to enjoy the pleasures of one another’s company. We just “clicked”.
