Please accept my condolences for your loss. I will always remember the time when your family took in all of us "Carrigans" during the "great" blackout. My Dad was out of town and my Mom was quite afraid. That warmth and kindness has stayed with me forever.

We used to drive up to visit with Uncle John and Auntie Marilyn. Those weekends were wonderful memories for me. I can still see her standing at the door. She always had a big smile when she saw us coming up the stairs. Auntie Marilyn was a very wonderful, loving person and we will miss her very much.
I am sorry that I cannot be there for you, but I will be thinking of you and all of the good times that we shared.
