I'll always remember Mrs. Q as the most petite, sweetest, femine and proper woman I've ever known. She raised five great daughters - each favoring her qualities in their own way. In a house full of women, it's no wonder Mr. Q is such a gentleman. He adores his family and stood by an extremely strong woman for 60 years. Mr. Q is a man of the strongest integrity.



I'm proud to be friends with the whole Quinlan family.

Love, Laura Scelfo

I am honored to have known Ruth and Les even for such a short time. Ruth's strength, courage and faith were inspirational. Les's devotion and his love for Ruth was equally inspiring.Everyone will miss this lovely woman.



Sincerely,



Val Brenits
