We are deeply sorry for your loss
Dear Janice, I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your sweet mother. As a former care giver for her and your father, I got to know them quite well. They were both very special to me and I loved them both. Their memories will always be with me. Denise Grantham
To Irene’s family, Please accept my deepest sympathies at the passing of Irene. I had the pleasure of meeting her while she was a resident at Carriage Green in Milford, CT. I was her housekeeper for awhile until my schedule changed. Irene was a phenomenal lady, she had a way about her that would make you feel so special. She always had a smile on her face & I will be forever grateful that we became friends. May she Rest In Peace. Sincerely, Joann Hayden Housekeeper Carriage Green Milford,CT
