Dear Rick, Steve, John and Paul and the entire Georgeson family. I am so sorry for your loss. Auntie Ava was a wonderful person. I always looked forward to seeing her when she could make it out to Massachusetts. I will miss her smile and laughter. She has left you with so many happy memories to keep in your hearts forever. May God's peace be with you. With love, Shirley Fasolino

Dear Ava's Family: Ava was a very brave and strong lady and will be sadly missed. We were in touch via telephone (and email) many, many times over many years but my instincts told me in our Nov. 22 conversation that it may be the last----I'm so sorry for your loss. She had the ability to analyze situations and together with her knowledge/wisdom could help anyone through. She will live in your hearts and minds throughout your lifetime because the love stays and memories of the heart are forever. May she rest in Peace. Your cousin, Joanne Wheeler

Rick and Steve and families, you have my sincere condolences. Your mom and dad invited me for supper when my wife was in the hospital and I was introduced to lasagna. As I recall I ate most of it. I haven't had lasagna since that was that good.
