Gentlemen:

It is my sad duty to inform you that my beloved wife, Joanne, passed away Wednesday evening after fighting Carcinoid Syndrome for twenty-six months.

She left us peacefully, surrounded by her loving family.

I will inform you of her funeral arrangements as soon as they are
confirmed.

She would, I know, be pleased if you would remember her in your prayers.

With great sadness,

Tom

You, Joanne, and your family have been and will continue to be in my prayers for quite awhile.

[GEORGE CURTIS]

Funeral Mass: 11:00 AM Monday at St. Theresé Church, Route 20, Granby, CT.

expensive like flowers. If anyone feels that they would like to do something
though, please consider a donation to the Carcinoid Cancer Foundation, Inc.
