Sandy, I am so sorry to see the loss of your mom. I don't get the Westfield paper so I missed her obit. Realized something was up when I saw John's baby's announcement in the paper today and your mom wasn't listed.
She was a neat lady and I enjoyed getting to know her through you.
Love and hugs, Becky Wood

My thoughts and prayers are with the nutbrown family, Shirley was a great person I met her up at BCFFA her and her daughter would always program dogs, and cats names in the computer and would come always to the shelter to update the animals for everyone to see. She will be missed may God and the Angeles watch over her as she is up in Heaven now. We love and miss you dearly.

Sandy, Words cannot not express the sadness I feel when I think of the loss of your mother. What brings me back to a smile is remembering all of the fond memories I have of her while we were growing up. From the classic "no thank you helping" (thanks to her I now love Brussel sprouts), spiking the punch that I unknowingly got drunk on, to her weather forecasts that always managed to get us where we needed to be in a western New York winter. The roller skating parties she always took us to, all of the band concerts she sat through to the 40th birthday cake she specially made for me. My heart fills with joy and happiness remembering the smile and laughter she filled a room with her presence. I do have a life time of memories that I will always feel blessed to have. I am here for you my friend, always and forever to get you through these tough times.
