Dear Laurie,Art, and Jimmy,
I want you to know we are thinking of you and your family. I was so sorry to hear of your Mom's passing. What a great lady. She was so proud of all of you! Fondly, Sally and Fred Blesi

I'm sorry that I could not be there in person to say goodbye. Sunny was always so fun to be around because she was so energetic and kind. I am going to miss her dearly.

Dear Art,

John Clark just informed me of your mother's passing. Although I never really knew your family I do have memories of your mother's many visits to Wayland Academy. She was always happy and flashed a wide smile to everyone she greeted. My condolences to you.

Much love to you and your family Laurie. Your mom was a classy, funny, generous and kind lady. Words can not express how deeply I feel for your loss. You are in my thoughts and prayers. -Anne Packard Bernsten

Dear Laura, Art, and Jimmy,

We have been thinking of you all on this day when Sunny is laid to rest. We regret that we are not able to personally extend to you our deepest sympathy.

We remember Sunny in so many ways - as a cute teenager at Wayland, as the busy and devoted wife and mother of your active family, and as a gracious and generous hostess to our boys over many years. We will always credit Sunny as the matchmaker for Johnny and his wonderful wife Jamie.

We know how deeply all of you will miss your Mom. We can all celebrate her life with many fond memories. Sunny was a woman with unique class and character for all to emulate. We join with you in rejoicing in Sunny's eternal salvation and also in her joy in reuniting with your dear father, Michael.

May God bless you all.
John and Judy Stevens
