Dear Joe, Mike, Pat, Scott, Alan and Kevin
So sorry that you have lost your wife/mother. She was a great person; always knew how to make you laugh.
She has been in pain for such a long time – now she is finally at peace. We know you will all miss her very much. We know we will miss seeing her and talking with her.
Love,
Connie and Armand Rivard
mom i miss you so much
Dearest Joe & Family,
We were so very sorry to read of the passing of Doreen. Our thoughts and prayers are with each and every one of you at this difficult time. Just know now that Doreen is at peace and in her Heavenly home where there is no pain or suffering. I will always remember her from work and the fun times we all had together. She was a great Daughter, Sister, Wife, Mother, Grandmother, Great-Grandmother and Dear Friend who was admired by all who knew and loved her. She always had a smile for those that deserved it and the truth for those that didn’t. More people should have been like her and this world would have been a much better place.
I have one very special memory of her which I will always sit and think about and smile when I think of Doreen. The fun time when a group of us girls from the office decided to go out to dinner after work one night and then to Strasburg to play Miniature Golf. We had the best time, laughing so hard at each other until we cried, trying to play golf, crossing swinging bridges, walking under waterfalls, and staying on our path without falling. When we finally composed ourselves after that very long game, we then went back into town and each enjoyed an old fashioned ice cream cone as our reward for that golfing fiasco. Now, that was a memory I will not forget. She will truly be missed.
In Christ’s Love,
Vicki & Denny Radle
Mr. Brady and Family,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time.
Mrs. Brady always made me feel like your home was my home. Whenever I’d stop by to visit, she was always quick to offer food/beverage and excited to find out what was going on in my life. If the kids were with me, I’d see an extra little twinkle in her eyes. She was such a genuine person, and I’m so glad I had the honor of knowing her.
“Success”
To laugh often and much;
To win the respect of intelligent people
and the affection of children;
To earn the appreciation of honest critics
and endure the betrayal of false friends;
To appreciate beauty, to find the best in others;
To leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child,
a garden patch or a redeemed social condition;
To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived.
This is to have succeeded.
Wow! What a successful life she lived!
Peace be with you,
Mike and Maria Querry
Dear Uncle Joe, boys and families,
So sorry for Aunt Doreen’s passing. She will really be missed by everyone whom she loved and enjoyed their company. I still can’t believe it.

We know that she is looking down on everyone and knowing that all of us will be remembering her in our own special ways. Our heartfelt sympathy to each and every one of you that touched her life in so many ways.
In love and sympathy from your niece, cousin and my family,
