Condolence from Honora (Loughlin) Dosdourian on January 11th, 2011 9:30 AM

Dear Family,

I will always remember with fond memories how kind your mother and father were with me after the passing of my mother inviting me to come to visit with them at their place in Hobe Sound, Florida. It was there that I bought a place and meet and married my husband John. Your mother, Mary Fran, always called me Nonie, which was a nickname I had when I was a kid. She always thought of me as Nonie whenever I meet here—she never called me Honora. I know you will miss her greatly. She was always so full of life and love to be with people and have a good time.

I live in Florida and can not leave my husband so I will not be able to attend the funderal. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Her cousin, Honora (Loughlin) Dosdourian
