To Auntie Peg, What can I say about the woman who was my second mother. She was just plain awsome. From the time I joined the family til the day she went to Jesus she was a great part of my life and the lives of all in my family. I could never have asked for better. I so love you Peg.

There was no one like Mrs. McCarthy. I can remember how much fun it was to "gab" with her, even when Elaine wasn't at home. She was always so welcoming...to both friends and animals alike. She will be missed, but at least she is with Frank. That, at least, is a comfort to all of us.

Afternoon tea and cookies with Mrs. McCarthy. One of my favorite memories....growing up next to her was like having one of God's angels watching over you. When I think of her, all I can do is smile. And now she is with her love of her life Frank. What a very comforting thought. Thank you so much for coming into our lives. Julie
