Dear Lorraine and Family,

I am so sorry for the loss of "Frannie" and Marilyn. Growing up on Babcock St., we were all friends. It is so hard to accept that they are gone. Although I was 4 years younger, Marilyn was always kind enough to include me in the neighborhood games. Please know that prayers are with you and your family. I will never forget them.

To the Mellon, Kane & Haxton Families
My deepest sympathy on your loss. My mom had fun stories of ,as she called him, "Petey" Mellon. I am sure they are both having laughs in heaven looking down on all of us. My thoughts and prayers are with you all at this difficult time. Barbara McMahon's daughter, Carleen
