Dear Regina, Robert, Mark and Guy,
I was so sad to hear about the loss of your Mom but I know that she's in a better place now!
Time has marched on, but my childhood/ neighborhood memories are still very much a part of me! I still remember sitting next to Betty and Anna at Angelo's lunch counter and
playing pool in your back room there and sleeping out in your tent. Your Mom was always so kind and so gracious even to a
little tag along like me!
May you all enjoy your memories as well!
Love to you all-
Jackie 'Magner' Horan

So well read and knowledgeable, amazing with her sight challenges! I know how much you will all miss her. I will hold her dear and smile when I think of her. Fondly, Lee "Gallagher"

Mum,
You have only been gone for a few days and yet I'm finding myself catching glimpses of you. You are more alive than you can imagine. I hope you can hear everything the kids have been saying about you. So many wonderfully warm memories. This is such a tribute to the mother you were. You raised 4 amazing children that are all a little bit of you in their own way. I want to say thank you as well. Thank you for loving me so unconditionally. Thank you for raising your son Mark to be such a wonderful and tender hearted man. And Thank you for allowing me the honor of calling you Mum. I love you and I know that we will meet again some day.
