Louty,
I do not know if I have found the right person, but I am the granddaughter of bob slattery. If it's you, you read my 'silly stories' and gave me a very nice letter. I am very sorry for your loss even if I am incorrect and have the wrong person. If it is you, my number is 8015413529. Take care
Gabi

Dear Lou, Susie, Dana and Mary,
Scott and I are so sad to hear of Claire's passing. She was a great friend to me from the day we met. I will never forget her and all the fun we had over the years, from parties in the yard, to shopping, to our weekly breakfast dates. She was very dear to my heart and I will miss her so much. You are all in our thoughts during this sad time. Love, Scott & Ann Cayer
