To the Tripp Family
My heartfelt sympathy to all of you on the death of your mother. Really miss her. She was such a wonderful neighbor and we had a lot of good times talking as we hung our clothes. Always a smile and a happy “Hi Neighbor” which I will never forget. Now I can’t even see the back door because of the overgrowth. Prayers are with you. Looking forward to her Celebration of Life here in Westerly. God Bless.
My heartfelt sympathy to the whole family. She was the nicest neighbor anyone could have. Always a smile and a “Hi Neighbor” as we hung our clothes. She on her back steps and I on my deck. We had many good times and I miss her. Can’t see the steps anymore because of the overgrowth. Prayers are with you all. Will look forward to the Celebration of Life in Westerly. God Bless.
