To the Briere Family,
I am saddened on the loss of your mother.
Being a friend of Alan and Arthur, hope all is well with you both, as also the entire family.
Although it has been many years, I have memory of seeing your mother and family at St. Margarets Mass faithfully every saturday either 4:00 or 5:00 afternoon mass. That was the regular mass for my mother and us Van Arnam boys also. I also remember sometimes the funny looks and joking gestures us boys would give each other during mass, hoping our mother's didn't catch us.
I also remember seeing Mrs. Briere, and to us it was always MRS. BRIERE, at the Pop Warner football games, and the high school soccer and lacrosse games. Always the silent woman, but always dedicated to be there.
My mother gives her regards also. She is doing OK, still living at Mill St.
Your Mom was an amazing woman, eight kids and the unbroken dedicated faith in her family. Everyone knew she was the glue to the Briere family. So respected by all ( the Mom that every mom wanted to be ).
Sincere condolences and deepest sympathies,
Doug and Patty Van Arnam
