Message: Dear Rebecca and family, You don't know me, but I am an old, old friend of your late mother's. I was just doing a Google search for her to see if I could find an address to contact her by U.S. Postal mail and instead was horrified to find her obituary. I felt the need to write a condolence to you and let you know how sorry I am to learn of her passing. Her and I are the same age and I cannot believe that she was taken so young. I know your mom through my aunt. My aunt was Estelle (Jessup) Fontaine who lived down the road from your mother’s parents’ (Whit & Hazel Davis) old homestead. My aunt was known around town as “Jess” – short for her maiden name – Jessup. She was married to Victor Fontaine. My mother was Irene Jessup Ferrara who was Estelle’s sister. I was raised in New York state about 30 minutes from Danbury, Ct. and every summer my mother and I would come out to visit my aunt Estelle and Uncle Vic. We would spend many weeks visiting as our home was a three hour drive from Pawcatuck. My aunt eventually introduced your mom and I. I would so look forward to our visits after she and I were finally introduced. My aunt Estelle, my mom, your mom and her mother Hazel would go to lunch at a restaurant called Bee-Bee’s which I think was in old Mystic. Your mom was such a sweet person – I really enjoyed our visits. We were both about 8 years old or so when we first met. After my uncle Vic passed away in the early 1970’s my aunt sold her house and moved in with her daughter and my mother and I really didn’t visit her much – she came out to visit with us after that, but, I would always ask her about your mom and how she was doing. I know she lost her mother when she herself was very young. I felt horrible for her! Eventually my aunt Estelle moved out to Las Vegas with her daughter and I no longer had a means of really keeping in contact with her and eventually lost total track of your mom. I have thought of Carolyn many, many times over the years and always wondered how she was doing. Unfortunately, over time our lives change, we marry, move, and time takes it’s toll on our abilities to act on the things we think about. Such is the story for many of us and now I find myself sitting here with great regret wishing that I had tried to get in contact with her many years ago when I would have had the opportunity to reach her! Once again, I am so very, very sorry for your loss. I know too what it is like to lose a mother when you are quite young. I lost mine when I was just 26 years old, so my heart goes out to you! I wish you and your family peace in the months to come and the strength to move forward in life, as I am sure that your mom would want that for you as well! I will close this note for now, but will leave my personal email, if you would ever like to get in touch with me, I would welcome hearing from you. My name is Dawn Palazzo. I now live in Wisconsin. My email address is: dawn.a.palazzo@gmail.com. God bless you and your family, I wish you all only the very, very best! Sincerely, Dawn Palazzo
