Just discovered the loss of your dear Mother and with her, and "Cousin" Ethel Kruger, ends a first-generation family of Americans. They were dear to our Father George Henehan and our cousin Doris Ann among others.

So sorry to hear of your loss. I enjoyed my visits with her when I returned to woodmere to visit with friends and family. She always enjoyed the SALT & PEPPER shakers I'd bring her. I will miss her (our visits) very much.
