Below are two messages I received today.

Barry

Friends and Family:

  As most of you are aware my Mom has been ill for over a year battling cancer.  Last night she passed on from this life to continue her journey in the afterlife.

  There will be services in Florida later this week, and then here in Massachusetts in a couple of weeks.

  I am sending this only to keep you informed.  We have no need for anything beyond your thoughts and prayers which are always very much appreciated.

  Blessings to all,

Fran
