So sorry for your loss.. Your mom and I had a great day back a few years ago when we took a bus trip to Keene N.H. They were having their annual pumpkin festival and what a sight to see. We walked the town and then had a wonderful meal at an local Inn and then returned home. The day was just wonderful talking about the good ole days at WHS. Eileen Maclure Songailo.
Sincere condolences to a great classmate from WHS! May she rest in peace!
Your Mom/Grandmom and I knew each other since Natchaug School and we saw each other through the years. We visited while shopping (S&S/WalMart) to the annoyance of other shoppers!! We were re-connected when I brought her for chemo in Manchester. Later on visited at Douglas Manor (where I again ran into John and the cousins). I'm sorry I didn't get to see her again while at Marlborough. I did phone. Anyway, my thoughts and prayers are with you. May soul be resting now.
If I can help with anything do not hesitate to call

To John and Tom, your Mom and I were classmates at W.H.S. 1958. We lost contact with each other until just a few years ago, when we hooked up again at the monthly dinners of the "Golden Girls" I want to send my deep felt sympathy to you both in the passing of your Mother.........She was a great person with a good sense of humor, and I know that she will be missed by many...............

To John and Tommy and all who loved Veronica,
When we were 16 we were in the Drum Corps. together and traveled to different town in competition. We double dated at WHS prom.( i still have pic). I remember a sleep over she had at her mom's house. My mom wouldn't let me go, unless her parents were there. And they weren't. I told a little white lie, and I went. At 4:00a.m. we cooked spaghetti for breakfast. She came to my house when she had John and I had just had my son. Another time, my mom was in the hosp. and so was her's, and we saw each other in the parking lot. And when I lived in Norwich, I went to the roller skating rink and there she was. So we continued to meet weekly to skate. After I moved out of state, I'd get Christmas cards, "Why didn't you answer my letter? Did you break your finger? ha-ha."
After my mom died, she came over while we were cleaning out her house. No matter how long it had been, we picked up our friendship, like there was no distance between us.
Now that's a real friend!. She was so much a part of my past, i will miss her dearly.
A HEART OF GOLD STOPPED BREATHING.
TWO SHINING EYES AT REST.
GOD BROKE OUR HEARTS TO PROVE HE ONLY TAKES THE BEST.

John and Tommy,
My sincere condolences on the loss of your mother. Veronica and I were best friends when we were children, especially in kindergarten and first grade and through Natchaug. We walked to school together after lunch and went to Saturday afternoon matinees at the Strand theater. She and Ronnie Haddad taught me to shoot marbles on the little piece of grass between their families' apartments. Unfortunately we did not have any classes together at WHS. After that, she sometimes stopped in to say hi to my parents when she walked past their store. It was wonderful to see her at the WHS reunions that I was able to attend. I hope that your memories of your Mom and the thoughts of others can be of comfort to you.

John, Tommy, Danielle, & Jamie - so sorry about your mother/grandmother. We had many good times over the years when she either came north to visit or I went south to stay at Uncle Leo and Aunt Eulalie's. Cousin Patricia
