Condolence: Nana,

You already must know just how dear you and Papa are to myself and everyone who has known you. I will never forget some of the memories I shared with Papa, and specifically the joy he had in his Christmas present creations to myself, David, Steven, and the cousins. I remember the altered banana, the altered twinkie, the three kings, the dancing santas, the singing gorillas, and even the box in a box in a box in a box gifts that required searching and determination to unwrap. I can just picture Papa wandering through stores looking for just the right item in which to hide/stash a gift, with a twinkle in his eye and a plan in his mind.

I'll never forget the warmth in his smile and hands that always made me feel loved and at home, or his easy sense of humor that always managed to turn a tense moment into a laugh. From key lime pie to cream soda and coffee cake, nobody knew how to cheer a person up better than he.

My thoughts and prayers are with you as always; stay warm and I will see you in June!

Love, hugs, and kisses,
Michael

Condolence: Dear Nana,

Words can't express how sad I am that Papa is no longer with us. I feel so lucky to have met both of you, and I will never forget all the great times we've had over the past few years. It feels like just yesterday Dave and I were coming over to visit for dinner - we sat outside in the warm sun as Papa cooked grilled chicken...and of course who could forget his famous Key Lime pie, yum! Dave still talks about that pie to this day :) Papa was always so kind and I don't think I ever remember seeing him without a smile on his face. His positive and cheerful outlook is something I strive to carry on in my own life. I am so happy to be part of such a loving family with wonderful grandparents to look up to - I will never forget what I great person Papa was or the memories we've made. You're in my thoughts and prayers everyday.

Love,
Kristine

Condolence: So many memories...so many happy times. Picnics in the backyard and Marcellus Park, family vacations to Kingston and Winsted, camping at Letchworth, birthday parties with the musical cake holder and the ballerina candleholders; communions, confirmations, graduations, christenings, Christmas and Thanksgiving celebrations, weddings...and Dad always there with a smile on his face and a coffeecake in his hand, a kind word or a humorous line that would make his grandchildren laugh. We are truly wealthy in terms of love and memories; our treasure is all the happy moments that Dad - and you too, Mom - created for us over so many years.

Condolence: Dear Audrey, We send our deepest sympathy to you and your family on the loss of Bill. He was such a wonderful man. Both of you are such great examples of deep faith and showing love and devotion to each other. You lived what God intended for the sacrament of Marriage!
Gregory, Allison and Matthew send big hugs to you and we are here for you if you need anything.
Sending you our love and prayers,
Carol and Scott

Condolence: Dear Nana,

It was so tough for me to come to terms with the fact that Papa is no longer with us. It has been so wonderful to have you and Papa in my life over the past five years as my American grandparents. You both are such kind people.

I will always remember how Papa and myself pulled you out of my car to help you get out of the car at St.Joseph's - Papa held your one arm and me the other - it was so funny - so fresh in my memory like yesterday and will always be. I was so glad to see him and talk to him on this past Christmas day. He saw you on TV while I was with him and he kept saying "She is beautiful! She is beautiful!".

We share some wonderful memories over the past years. I will miss his funny jokes. He is a good man. He is in peace. There is a belief in the Tamil culture of India that only the pious and kind people get the privilege to pass away in the holy Tamil month of Maarkazhi (December 16th thru January 13th) and become a part of heaven. So, Papa is indeed in heaven. My sincere thoughts and prayers are with you and your family in this difficult time.

Love,
Amudhan C. Viswanathan.

Condolence: Dear Audrey & Family,
My brothers and I were so sad when we heard this news. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you. Take care of yourselves.

Love, Jessica

Condolence: Dearest Audrey -- It was a real joy to witness the total loving devotion that you and Bill shared, and it has been a privilege to know this special man for the past few years. You both have set a high standard of Christian living for your children and grandchildren. May you find peace and comfort in knowing that Bill is free from his pain and earthly bonds, and my prayers are with you as you carry his memory and presence in the days ahead.

Lovingly, Jean

Condolence: Uncle Bill will be sorely missed as we have fond memories seeing him at the lake on vacation. Uncle Bill always brought a smile to everyone's face with just his presence alone. He has blessed us with his love of life and his compassion for his family.

God has called Uncle Bill's name and he answered. We know that he in God's hands and grace.

We send our love to all of the family as we celebrate Uncle Bill's life and his reunion with God!

Love, The Lawson Family.

Condolence: Je suis a toi toujours ...audrey....
