Sending well wishes to the rest of the family, and a small correction Cindy Barrows my mother passed away May 27th 2014.
I am very sorry Tammy and Sherry. Sylvia was a very good friend to me when we worked at Simmons Precision together in Vergennes 1984-1987. She basically took me under her wing because I knew nothing and I was very shy back then.
Love,
Jeannette (Giard) Shields
I am sorry for your loss. Aunt Jeanne was a wonderful person, so kind and caring. I loved going to visit her and Uncle Charlie. She will be missed. Love Robin (Collins) Flynn.
