I'm still trying to explain that Nanny was Tessie & my moms mother, & was shared by both your family & mine.....but you called her GRAM. My kids wanted to know why you guys called her the wrong name.

God saw you getting tired and a cure was not to be.So He put His arms around you and whispered “come to me.” With tearful eyes we watched you, and saw you pass away. Although we loved you dearly, we could not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, hard working hands at rest.God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best. With all our love,your family in Scotland x x x x

Jean and Sheila, I know I am joined by all your Francis Lewis Leaders sisters and our mentors in sending you our sympathy and love at this difficult time. May you find peace and comfort in knowing that your grief is shared by so many of us. God bless you and your wonderful family.

Dear Shean, The pictures are great of Tess, we will truly miss her. Our memories are great, thank goodness our" Mom's" were close, for you guys are more than cousins to us and we will treasure all the fond memories. The ones that come to mind- upstate, especially when we came over to beaver pond and the power went out and the fridge locked-your Mom handled it well-"peanut butter for all" -all the holidays and going to the dentist! Steve loved the way Tess called him Stevela! Oh and the Prime Rib at Christmas, I know she worked very hard and to have the Mills clan come swarming in on Christmas Day-Tess was a good sport! We are sorry for your loss and I know you two have been so great to her, We are thinking of you at this time and our prayers and thoughts are with you. All our Love Steve and Mary Ellen, Emily and Greg

As I heard your mother's familiar voice over the phone last summer, her friendly and sincere charm, I remembered the conversation around the kitchen table long ago. I felt welcomed like family. So much love your parents had and they held my utmost respect. Now your mother is closer than ever to the Appows and Sheila's family. You have my sympathy and love. Helen
