To all those related to my former neighbor Betty Filburn I extend my deepest heartfelt sympathy to you. Betty was a wonderful woman and a dear and caring friend. She always had a smile for me and my family. We had many talks over the decades when she lived in West Newton. The best advice she ever gave me came after my first wife Carol Cicci passed away. I asked her how do you get over the grief of the loss of a loved one? She replied, you never do. You just learn how to deal with it. Those were very powerful words and I hope you will all remember them as they are pearls of wisdom borne from experience. Grief may come in waves , but they will go away for a while. When they come back you will figure out how to handle them. So it will be with the loss of Betty. The world lost a dear soul but God has a new child in Heaven. God bless you all. Frank Cicci

My deepest condolences to the Filbern family. I hope knowing that God cares for you and sees your pain brings you comfort during this difficult time. May you also find comfort in God's promise to resurrect our loved ones to life in a paradise earth. (John 5:28, Revelation 21:3 & 4) My thoughts are with you all.

I weep for a time shared with you...past but not forgotten. The joy you brought to us all in the stories you shared, the games you made, and the songs that you sang and hummed...taking us to a place that no one else could because there was no one like you. To the person that defined the word "sure" as a term of endearment, thank you for helping make me who I am. You helped me be confident in a world where others fill themselves by attempting to empty others.
I have felt you with me the last few days and it has given me peace to know you have gone to be with the Lord you so humbly served. Thank you for touching my life.
I don't need to miss that which is a part of me...I love you Mum Mum.

Although I have not seen Mum Mum in many years, she is forever in my heart. I remember as a little girl going to visit her in West Newton and seeing her beautiful smile and arms welcoming me. It is one of my precious memories and she will be missed.

lisa was my mother I what to thank everyone for everything they did for her
I want to thank Barry, his compassion and respect for our family will never be forgotten.
I just wanted to thank you for the kindness you showed our family. Just talking with you made things much easier.
The way Barry dealt with the arrangements for Pfc.Daniel Bain was so respectful and dignified. The ceremony flowed so well, from all the military and the firemen to all the behind the scenes incidents. We couldn't be more satisfied that Uncle Dan was laid to rest as the Fallen Hero he was.
I want to thank Barry and his staff for the kind and caring assistance he has shown to our family when we needed to make arrangements for our parents - both within a matter of month.
Also I want to commend Barry on the respectful and compassionate care he gave to the arrangements for Daniel Bain's ceremony. I have never experienced such a lovely celebration of life in such a unique situation.
Barry and his staff were so nice. Barry gave my family as much time as we all needed to be with our mom and to say goodbye to our mom
My mother died suddenly in July of 2017. She had to be transported to Maryland where her final resting place was. Barry was an angel. His compassion and comfort he expresses are just beyond expectations. He treated my Mom like his own and made the process so much easier for me and my family. I appreciate it so much and will never forget his kindness. Thank you so much.
I want to thank Barry and his staff for assisting our family with the final arrangements for Leonard D. Williams. Barry was so very pleasant throughout the journey to Lenny's final rest with his widow, Shirley and his children during their time of need.
We are so very pleased with his services. You will not find a more compassionate and understanding person to help you through such troubled times. Thank you again!
