6 Condolences for Stevie Cunha

  • Goodbye is too hard to say Stevie, you will be missed. Sylvia and I have been reminiscing about all the good times we had playing “pianie”, singing Christmas carols, and all the other crazy adventures we had over the years. I’ll never see another flowering tree in Springtime and not think of you. We have our own angel now. I wish you peace and happiness because no one deserved it more or looked for it for herself less. Love always Marian.

  • Lisa and family, I am so sorry for your loss, my thoughts and prayers are with you.
    May she be at peace
    Beth

  • Lisa, I was sorry to hear about your mom in an email from Kirsti this morning. Having lost my own mother (Kirsti’s Grandma Bee) a couple of years ago, I know you will miss her greatly. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

    Ande Thomas (Kirsti & Will Thomas’ Mom)

  • Well, I only knew you for forty years… would have thought that would have been enough…wish we could have forty more. You were a best friend, confidant, personal nurse, singing partner (neither of us very good), and many other things I can’t even remember. I don’t think anyone could have laughed more than when we were together. I will miss you greatly!!!!! Now let’s hear that great oldie… The Twelve Days of Christmas, again & again! You know the kids in the back seat love it when we sing! Sylvia

  • Dear Lisa,
    I was sorry to read about the passing of your mom. What a great lady she was. I have fond memories of her from our college days. She had a great smile and a wonderful sense of humor. She could always make us laugh. Such good times we had at the little house on Amstel Avenue.

    Blessings to you and your family!

  • So sorry to hear of the loss of Stevie. She was an outstanding woman that I was glad to have known. RIP Stevie
