To all of you my deepest condolences. Alice and I were colleagues in court reporting, served on the Examination Committee together and traveled to the Bahamas together where we each bought a time share. We had many great weeks there with family and friends. She and I connected again here on the Cape, getting together for dinner and other outings. I really enjoyed being with her and missed her when she left for Peabody, but I knew she was happiest there. Kim, you were the only one I knew, not only from your visit to the Bahamas but from the reflexology sessions,which were great. Give me a call sometime and tell me more about your grandmother. I know she was very proud of all of you. Take care the know I'm thinking of you now. Dottie Robertson

FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF MASSACHUSETTS MARINE CORPS LEAGUE Please accept our deepest regrets and condolences on the passing of Marine Veteran Alice McDonald. There is a poem written by a Marine in the Korean War. It goes like this, Do not stand by my grave and weep I am not there; I do not sleep. When you awaken in the morning's hush, I am the swift uplifting rush of quiet birds circling in flight. Do not stand by my grave and cry ... I am not there. I did not die. I am a Marine now and always protecting and serving our Supreme Father into infinity. Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal. Semper-Fi George Doc Fregeau 500 Merriam Avenue Leominster, MA 01453 Marine Corps League Department of Massachusetts Chaplain

Dear Cecilia and Family, please accept my condolences on the death of your loved one. Cecilia, you were the one who introducd me to the poet Kahlil Gibran and I have so enjoyed his poetry that I am leaving you with a few of his words which I hope will bring some measure of comfort to you and your famly: "For what is it to die but to stand naked in the wind and to melt into the sun? And what is it to cease breathing, but to free the breath from its restless tides that it may rise and expand and seek God unencumbered? Only when you drink from the river of silence shall you indeed sing. And when you have reached the mountain top, then you shall begain to climb. And when the earth shall claim your limbs, then shall you truly dance."

Remembered Joy Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free! I follow the plan God laid for me. I saw His face, I heard His call, I took His hand and left it all... I could not stay another day, To love, to laugh, to work or play; Tasks left undone must stay that way. And if my parting has left a void, Then fill it with remembered joy. A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss... Ah yes, these things I, too, shall miss. My life's been full, I've savoured much: Good times, good friends, a loved-one's touch. Perhaps my time seemed all too brief? Don't shorten yours with undue grief. Be not burdened with tears of sorrow, Enjoy the sunshine of the morrow. I found this Irish poem and thought how apt for Aunt Alice and Dad.
