  • Dear Jill and all Jake’s family,

    Julie told me of Jake’s death. What I know most about him is how much he loved you, his family.

    I will be praying for you as you prepare for the wake and funeral Mass for your father, grandfather, brother, cousin and friend.

    Love,
    Joan

  • I’ve been so saddened to hear the news of Johnny’s passing. He frequented Fratells Pastry Shop in weymouth almost every other day to get a sweet treat. Any chance I had to serve him I always would and we would chat all the time. He was so kind and would always talk highly about his family and his grandkids. Although I didn’t know him long, I’m grateful I got to know a wonderful man, one who always came in and put a smile on my face. My heart breaks knowing I won’t see you for another blueberry muffin with no sugar. May you rest in peace Johnny, and to his family I am so sorry for your tremendous loss and I am sending you my condolences and prayers during this extremely difficult time.❤️🙏🏼

  • Went to mass everyday with Jack. Spent time with him at the cemetery everyday Great guy. I’ll miss him
