I have pictures of Tillie and Nellie kicking up their heels at my wedding 35 yrs ago and even the last time I saw Tillie this May she still had that spark in her and a wit about her that was remarkable at her age. And yes the stories she could and would tell! She will now be able to see and hear her beloved Red Sox games just like in her youth. Rest in Peace Tillie. "the other one of Alice Mae's twins" as Tillie used to say

Tillie is an inspiration to me,always fighting to the very end. My mom was Alice Mae MacDonald, Tillie and Danny's first cousin and from my earliest days, I remember visiting Aunt Nellie and cousin Tillie-boy the stories they could tell!
