Mike, Ruthie and Family,

I am so sorry to hear of your mother's death. She was a strong, vibrant and wonderful woman--and a real lady. Judy always spoke so highly of her. You are a close family and that is your mother's best legacy. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

John, Billy, Ruthie and Mike, I am sorry to learn of the loss of your

beloved mother. In her latter years, my own mother would talk about the great people in the "old neighborhood." She often spoke of her admiration for all the Callaghans. I often wonder if the people now in that neighborhood realize what a wonderful group preceded them on Aberdeen Street.



Again, my thoughts are with you and yours this sad day.
