I am so sorry for your loss. Your mother was always so kind and welcoming. I never forgot the time we all went to dinner in Boston after some college event and my mother could not pay. Alina graciously took care of that in a quiet way. Prayers to all of you. Xo
Alina was a second mom to me. Always so kind, caring and generous. Love and hugs to Ray, Debs and Lori. She will be missed by all❤️
Alina was a wonderful person who always made room for me as the tag along to Deb and Steph’s adventures. I loved spending time with her at Crescent lake as she always had the best snacks along with a keen ability to listen to all our stories. She was a loving Mom to Lori and Deb and an “ extra mom” to us Goulding girls. Alina will be missed by all and I hope Ray, Deb , Lori
and family find comfort in all the beautiful memories they shared.
Love and hugs

Dear Waterhouse family,
Words cannot express how sorry we are for your loss.
Alina’s kindness and warmth will be remembered always by our entire family.
Ray & Alina were my parents’ ( Naj & Barbara’s ) dearest friends sharing so many wonderful memories together, they spoke of them often.
Over the years, family gatherings at the Cumberland Club wouldn’t have been the same for us without seeing all of your family there too.
May the cherished memories of Alina bring you comfort in this time of sorrow.
Our deepest sympathies to you all.
Sincerely,
The Lotfey’s
Dear Lori, Deb and Ray, I loved your Mom, Ray, I loved your life partner. I admired her strength, warmth, and her so refreshing honesty – always spiced with so much wisdom and caring. My favorite memory is dropping by on Thanksgiving one year as she orchestrated a feast for the multitudes while she sipped some coffee and may have taken a a “little break” or two! May your countless memories sustain you all. You are a beautiful family!
I am so sorry to hear of Alina,s passing. I,ll say goodbye with the thought of her memories.

The SMILE on her face and the SOUND of her voice whenever she opened the door to greet me. The hug ( TOUCH ) when I stepped through the door. Then the SMELL and TASTE of her wonderful chocolate chip cookies.
She was a wonderful , enjoyable, and interlectual woman.
To all of you, may her memories always be with you. Dick
So sorry to hear this news. Thinking of you … Deb and Lori … and your beautiful family. 🙏🏼 ❤️
Lori and family,
My heart and prayers go out to you all during this time. There will be many memories and feelings which will bring comfort to you. There is also the time you want to call mom – talk to her anyway, no matter where you are. May you all find the peace you need, when you need it.

I knew Alina from my years at Northern Burner Supply. She, her sister Lucy and her daughter Loi brought a ladies touch to an otherwise masculine world. I found her trust to be hard to earn, but once given, it was for life. She is not a person that I think of every day, but when I do, I smile. She will be missed. What’s left of my beat up old heart goes out to Ray, Debbie, Loi and their families.
So sorry for your loss. Alina and Ray were friends of my parents and I remember gatherings with family as a child. My heart goes out to you all. God Bless.
