Hanrahan Family, We pray your memories of happier times comfort you in your loss. Your mother had one of the most predictable and infectious smiles I ever had the pleasure of enjoying. I am sure she is smiling now and I hope you find peace in knowing she is at home with God now.

I am deeply sorry for your loss, yet thankful to spend the next phase of our lives together in happiness with each other, in our way. I am here for you, always.
