    I never met you but from hearing your son, Mark’s words, I knew you were a beautiful lady who will be sorely missed.

    Dear Jackie, Rich, Jim, Mark and the rest of the family,

    Roscoe and I are so sorry for your loss. To refresh your memory, we lived next door to your parents at #42 for a few years before moving to East Greenbush in ’91. Your parents were such good neighbors. Your mom was so good to our son, Matthew, when he was born. He fondly remembers that his favorite book was a gift from your mom, even though he can’t remember her personally, try as he may.
    It is our hope and prayer that your memories of your mom will bind you together at this time and in the years ahead.
    Fondly,
    Joanne, Roscoe and Matthew Haynes
