Hello all of you old North Euclid neighbors. I wanted to say that your mom has been in my thoughts and prayers.
She was my first Girl Scout leader. I remember her meetings with all of us in the basement. She was always kind,nice, patient and thoughtful towards me.
96 years is quite the accomplishment! Goes to show you that having a large family keeps you young. Our family has been passing around all kinds of memories about the Mc Donald family...it does the heart good to travel back in time every once in a while.
Please pass on my regards to all.
