Dear Suellen and Richard I am so sorry for your loss.
I raked leaves, and shoveled snow for Mrs. Guida.
Very sweet lady.
I am so deeply saddened to hear of Jill’s passing. Your mom was truly an extraordinary woman and was admired by everyone who knew her. She was so kind and will be greatly missed by all who knew her. She was like a sister, mother, neighbor and friend to me. For more than 20 years, we shared in gardening, recipes and cooking, and going to the movies. She loved to dine out. My great grans would race to visit with Ms. Jill when they came to visit me. They always loved her snacks of candy and cookies.
I pray your hearts will be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times. Together we will celebrate a life well lived.
May God bless you and your family during this time and always,
(Jill I miss you)
Dear Suellen,
I am so sorry to learn of your Mom’s passing. Jill was the first person I met when I started in the Department of Education at One State Street. We immediately became friends and stayed friends for over 30 years. Kindness is the best word to describe your Mom. She and your Dad loved you so very much. Our conversations always revolves around you. She was admired by all her coworkers and supervisors alike. Know that she will be remembered fondly. May she Rest In Peace.
