Dear BI & Olive & Family,
Very sorry and saddened to hear of our loss of your Mom and my cousin.
My deepest sympathy.
She was a great wife, mother, & Lady; who will be greatly missed.
I would really like to try to attend the wake or funeral if I am able. I have a diabetic ulcerative wound on my leg with a boot, making it very difficult to drive if at all.
I was at your ma and dad's wedding at old St. Brigets Church on Archer Ave. I remember visiting your Grandmother Alice (Hickey) Ziegler and cousin Adaline at the Elias Ct. House in Bridgeport. My mom and your dad, Aunt Adaline, Uncle Duke, and Uncle Bobby are all 1st cousins, so I am your 3rd cousin(but that's not the correct or legal title.)
My prayers are with you all and for your mom. May the angels lead her into paradise and may she rest in peace. Amen.
With Sympathy,
John Barone, cousin

Dear Ollie, & BI,
Extremely sorry about your loss. Thanks for informing me. Long time no see or no talk; since about 3 years ago when my mother Ruth (Slattery) Barone died. Your dad's 1st cousin, your grandmother & grandfather's Alice & Bob Ziegler CFD, niece. So BI & Ollie, I'm your mom & dad's 2nd cousin, your 3rd cousin, but I don't think that's the exact legal "title". I may try to call you Ollie, I now have this # and I have another # which I did speak to you about 3 years ago. I really will try to get to the wake/funeral. However I live with my Aunt Dolly (Slattery) Guide; Midway neighborhood (Archer Ave. & Cicero local) and right now I have my foot, leg wrapped with a una booth due to a diabetic ulcer wound. But I of all your dad's side of family remember the most of ALL the cousins. I was at your mother's, & fathers wedding at St. Briget's Church on Archer & Loimis. And visited many times with your Aunt Adaline & and Grandma Allie on Elias CT. & Archer Ave. in Bridgeport. Further, visiting you all at the Barry house North side near a fire house and old Riverview Park. Well, will really be mad at myself if I can't make it in person to see all of you. My deepest sympathy and prayers are with all of you. May the angels lead her into paradise and may this Great Wife, Mother, and Lady Rest in Peace. Amen.
Sincerely
Johnny, a Cousin
