Katie and Mary Ann you are in my thoughts and prayers. I loved your mother and dad. My husband went to school with you dad and they are godparents to my youngest son.
God Bless you all.

Ann has been a very good neighbor. I will always remember our conversations across the yard fence. Without her, Hurst Street will feel very lonely.

Mrs. O'Connell was a wonderful neighbor to my parents when they first moved to Bethesda. She always smiled and made me feel at home when I played with Mary Ann and Katie at her house. We will miss her so much.
