Hi Brian,

This is a voice from the distant past. I recieved an email from Janet Marino about your mom and sister.  Sorry to learn of your loss.  I lost my mom in 1988 and my father in 1996.  Until Janet Marino contacted me about a year ago,concerning reunion stuff from Rosevelt HS, I had lost contact with all my old friends from Crestwood except for David Collobolletta. I can remember us playing in the folk band at Concordia and especially you singing Yesterday.  Those were good times.  I hope all is well in your life. I live with my wife Catherine about an hours drive north of Baltimore in the small town of Whiteford, MD.  My email is kayakmagic@gmail.com.  Send me a note when you get a chance.  Your long lost friend, 
Ernie Braue

Brian,  My heart goes out to you, your Dad & the family.  I remember we used to jump rope as kids in Crestwood and your dad turned the rope at one end.  As high school teens we used to party at friends house parties.  

Your Mom and Sister will always be with you through fond memories and  at your side spiritually.     Regards,    Susan Papantonio

Brian,
Sad to hear of your Mom's passing. My prayers and thoughts are with you and your family.

Dear Brian,  I remember you from when I was in my early 20's, back in 1964-65, from hanging out weekend evenings in a bar in Bronxville.   I have a memory of you saying something very supportive and loving about your mother, although I can't remember exactly what.  You are fortunate to have had her.       Louise Barrie

My sweet Aunt Jean
I will never be the same without her, but I will never be the same because of her. Her sparkling eyes, her laughter, her humor and love will live on with me forever. Not a moment forgotten, but always treasured. She was a gift to us all - and a true gift in my life. My love and prayers are with the Carney family during this difficult time.

My deepest sympathies to all of you. You Mother & Father were very good kind caring people.I feel very lucky to have known such class act people. May God Be with Your Mom And may God Bless You all at this time .

My deepest sympathies to your family.Jean was one of the most vibrant, loving, and generous people that I have ever known. Her beautiful smile and sense of humor always gave me a lift !! Her ability and creativity in teaching her Sunday school classes amazed me ! She was a tough act to follow. Safe in the arms of Jesus Jean, I will miss you dearly. Lynne Persson

To say Jean was a kindred spirit is an understatement.  We laughed at just about everything in the short few years I knew her. She was surprised to hear that she had the same birthday as my mom....Jan 18th.
Today I mourn her loss, I'll miss Jean's laughter, her smile,and great spirit. Not only was she born on the same day,but she died on the same day as my mom too....10/31.  Amazing coincidence!  I'm sure I have 2 angels in Heaven watching over me.
My love to all Jean's loving family,
Liz Hirschberg....Northvale NJ

Jean, your family and all loved ones will miss you deeply. Your warmth and genuine love for others made you special among all who knew you. May you rest in peace with God's blessings.

Thoughts and prayers to Paul & Brian. I am an old friend from younger years. I grew up in Westbrook and remember with fond memories hanging at the cottage there. Your Mom was a sweetie and I know that you will miss her greatly.

Much love to all of you....
