Mark & Family,
Sorry to hear about your Mom, my thoughts and prayers are with you all at this time. ?
I had a lot of good times with AJ, from the time I was a little kid – she used to pick me up and I’d stay with her and Uncle Dave at the South Ave house in the summer – lots of fun with Taffy, camping trips etc. I treasure those times and have thought about them a lot the last few days – truly will miss you AJ, but I know that you are in a better place with Nana,Poppy, your brothers and of course Uncle Dave!
I will always keep a special place in my heart for you…
Love Daryl❤️
Sending you my deepest sympathy for Aunt Joan. May she RIP ?

Mark, Kim, Bob and David,
Your Mom is a Saint. All those years helping David with Boy Scouts and Troop 26.
So sorry to hear about Joan . I have so many fond memories of being on her crew at Perinton Ambulance and walking with her in the morning. She was a great lady.
Dear Mark, Kim, and David,
I just heard of your mom’s passing and wanted to express my condolences. My mom (Shirley Gordon) and your mom were good friends and I remember going to your house on Jefferson Ave. Your mom was very kind to my mom and her battle with MS. May you find comfort in the happy memories you have.

Dear family,
I miss my phone buddy so much: “Hello”…..”Wasssup?” ……. making me smile as I write. And when Sid and I were in town, we had so much fun visiting and reminiscing……of course, we had to play a game or two of gin……she always beat me, but I didn’t care…..too much.
We love you all and know you have so many great memories to draw from. Dave and Joan are together hitting the road again…..first stop: Cape Cod.
XO Sheila and Sid Spafford
Dear Kim, Mark and David, We were so sad to hear of your mother’s passing. We had such good family times at your home in Fairport. Unfortunately, we will not be able to attend the service. My sister Carol is taking care of her John, who is not well. I will be taking my Tom to his Dr’s appointment on Friday, as he had a recent heart attack. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
Love, Mary
