Dear Pete,Peter, Susan, Jerry & family:
Please accept my deepest condolances on the passing
of your wonderful Mom. My fondest memories are of her
smile, her warmth and wise caring advice.
To my Dad, your Mom was his second sister.
I wish I could be with you during this difficult time but distance keeps
me away.
I will cherish the many cards and letters I have received from her over
the years and will keep her in my prayers.
Love,
Robert
Dear Susan, David, Chris and the entire Bassermann family.
We send our thoughts, prayers and love during this difficult time. Jane Bassermann was always pleasant to be around, we had more than one conversation about her beauty shop and my barber shop. We had more than one laugh about the subject of hair. She took great pride in her children and grandchildren and her memory will live on. I enjoyed the conversations we had on all subjects but especially about her family.
May God Bless her and the entire Bassermann family
Much love & tender hugs
Paul & Loretta
To all The Basserman Family, So sorry for loss.
We have so many fond memories of Jay and Buddy coming to my parents house in Shelton. As we celebrate St. Patricks Day today I smile because of the vivid picture in my mind of Rita and Carlton, Ann and Bill, Buddy and Jay, Shash and Stretch coming to enjoy my Mom’s Corned Beef and Cabbage, all of them dressed greener that green!! My children were very lucky to have grown up with them all around.
I am sorry we can’t be there today but you are in our thoughts and prayers during this time of sorrow.
Love, Trish (Daley)
