Condolence & Memory Journal
Dear Karen, Philip, Tim and families,
I was so sorry to hear about Mrs. Ranieri's passing. She was a person who really made a difference in so many lives. Our Monday night Girl Scout meetings were a safe harbor from the storms in our home lives. Trips to the International Fair, camping and award ceremonies. Even as I became an adult, she remained a person I thought of often with a smile. Every time I hear someone snap their gum, I hear her admonishment to stop snapping your gum. Not many people today can lay claim to positively changing so many lives. Love, Prayers and Happy Memories.
Love,
Carol-Jean

Aunt Claire - thanks for being a guiding light for me and coming into my life. I will miss our conversations and the unconditional love you showed me, Anna, David and Ashleigh. I'll always remember your trip to visit us in Hawaii and drinking mai tai's! Love John

Dear Ranieri and Tarmey family, We were so sorry to hear of the loss of your wonderful mom and will miss seeing her at Philip's performances and events.
We were looking through all the beautiful photos you posted of her and the family. It's evident in each one that the love she had for all of you brought her great joy. May her memory be a blessing.
Love the Watsons

Auntie Claire you were such a special part of my life. Growing up watching you and my dad making us laugh, spending time listening to your memories at family events, and the way you treated my daughter Grace so lovingly. She misses you as I do. We will always be grateful for the love, laughter and joy you brought us. I could always see my dad in you. Blessings to you and your wonderful family. I love how you have a piece of my heart.

I will miss our overnights and our long conversations. We always found lots to talk and laugh about, especially while eating dessert. We've been part of each other's lives for so many years - I love you and will miss you so much

Rest in peace, dear Claire. I am so grateful for all of our chats. I will miss your delightful sense of humor, especially at the expense of your son-in-law! By the way, someone I know who is also a Disney enthusiast like you is nearby. Look her up and enjoy the ride together!
May the angels lead you into paradise, may the martyrs greet you at your arrival, and lead you into the holy city, the new and eternal Jerusalem.

I hadn't laughed till I choked so much since college, then I met you and Papa. From the 20-pound coat box of J.Pace salami & cheese under the Christmas tree, to baking, making ravioli, Easter clothes shopping trips with 4 grandies, sledding down the down of the house in Stoneham, and planting in spring... moments and memories to cherish.
Miss you Mum.
