AND HER LOVING FAMILY           

OUR LOVING SPOUSES

		Steve & Myrlita 2007

~Hilda Menice ~

OUR MOM WAS AN INCREDIBLE WOMAN.
THE ACCOMPLISHMENTS SHE ACHIEVED
IN HER LIFETIME ARE FAR BEYOND
ANYONE'S EXPECTATIONS.

FROM MEETING OUR DAD WHILE PERFORMING
ON STAGE, TO MARRYING THAT SPECIAL GUY
THAT IMPRESSED HER SO MUCH THAT DAY ON
THAT STAGE, LATER BROUGHT HER TO THE
DEVASTATING WORLD WAR II THAT TOOK OUR
DAD OVERSEAS FOR WAY TOO LONG.
HOLDING
THINGS TOGETHER HERE, LIKE SO MANY
OF THE WOMAN LEFT BEHIND, OUR MOM BECAME
ONE OF THE
"ROSIE THE RIVETERS".
WELDING IS WHAT SHE DID, LIKE SO MANY
OTHERS

THIS PICTURE WAS POSTED EVERYWHERE
TO KEEP UP THE MORALE OF THE
WOMAN LEFT BEHIND TO HOLD THINGS
TOGETHER:

ONCE MY DAD WAS BACK SAFE AND SOUND
THEY PROCEEDED TO HAVE A FAMILY
THAT GREW INTO 6 LOVING CHILDREN-
5 GIRLS AND 1 BOY.

OUR MOM WAS THE IDEAL HOMEMAKER
FOR YEARS TO COME AFTER THAT,
UNTIL MOST OF US WERE GROWN, THEN
SHE PROCEEDED WITH MANY
SUCCESSFUL ENDEAVORS IN HER CAREER
SUCH AS REAL ESTATE, REGIONAL
DISTRICT MANAGER FOR
"CHRISTMAS AROUND THE WORLD"
FOR HOUSE OF LLOYDS.
ANOTHER ENDEAVOR WAS HER OPENING
"THE CLOTHES CLOSET"
A SECOND HAND STORE THAT WAS SO
TASTEFULLY DONE, THAT YOU WOULD NEVER
KNOW THE ITEMS WERE NOT NEW.
HAVING OUR DAD AS HER LOVING
PARTNER IN LIFE HAD MANY ADVANTAGES.
HE WAS ALWAYS THERE
TO HELP HER WITH WHATEVER
CAREER SHE DECIDED ON.

~Everett Menice~
Our Dad & Husband

OUR DAD WAS ONE IN A MILLION.
STRICT AS STRICT CAN BE
WHICH WE TRULY BELIEVE MADE
US WHO WE ARE TODAY.
HE LEFT US AT AGE 89.
WE MISS HIM DEARLY, BUT KNOWING
THAT MY MOM LEFT US ON "FATHER'S DAY"
2003, AND MY DAD LEAVING US ON
"MOTHER'S DAY 2010" WAS SOMETHING
MAGNIFICENT. A TRUE GIFT THAT 
HELPS US TO ACCEPT WHAT HAS HAPPENED.
BORN IN TAUNTON MA. SEPT. 8, 1920.
SERVED PROUDLY UNDER GENERAL PATTON
IN THE US ARMY 212TH FIELD ARTILLERY
BATTALION IN WWll.
ATTAINING THE RANK OF SSGT. HE WAS ALSO
AWARDED THE PURPLE HEART, BRONZE MEDAL, 
AND SO MUCH MORE.
HE WAS EMPLOYED BY THE RALSTON PURINA
COMPANY. SO OF COURSE EVERY TIME 
WE SEE THAT FAMOUS CHECKERBOARD
WE THINK OF OUR DAD.
HE WAS ALSO SO PROUD TO SERVE ON THE
RAYNHAM POLICE FORCE FOR MANY YEARS.
HE LOVED TO REPAIR, AND REBUILD 
EVERYTHING, AND ANYTHING. HE WAS A 
JACK OF
ALL TRADES.

Diane's Beloved Husband, Richard L. Charette
left us way too soon.....
1942-1995

SO, PLEASE COME ON IN, AND ENJOY THIS
CREATION AND LINGER AS LONG AS YOU
WISH.
REMEMBER...
SOME THINGS MAY TAKE LONGER TO LOAD
SO DON'T GET DISCOURAGED,
AND
~MAY GOLD BLESS YOU~
