Not sure what to say?

Pat,John and Eileen,

Our deepest sympanthy in the passing of your Mom. It seems like the generation of family is all passing by us.

It has been years since being with family, especially Labor Day weekends at Aunt Annie's in Cleveland at the lake. We are now the generation, that needs to continue on for the Doran name.

We all miss our parents, but know they are in a better place and we can be thankful for that. Cherish your Mom and Dads memories

My family lived next door to the Dorans for years, Mr. & Mrs. Doran were both very nice, kind people. My most heartfelt sympathies are with your family. Cherish your memories forever of your wonderful Mother.

Truly a joy to be in her company; Ginny's infectious smile, caring personality, and love of life will always be cherished and remembered by her family & friends.

Dear Pat, John, Eileen, and family,
I learned from Lyn (Cleveland) Welles about your mom and want to express my deepest sympathies. The fact that we lived on the same block in Syracuse and then reconnected after both our families moved to Houston still seems amazing to me. But though your mom's location changed, her fun-loving, kind spirit never did. I'm grateful to have known her, and will never forget her.
Love to you all,
Sue Cox, Houston, TX

I knew Ginny my whole life as she is my
first cousin. She and my sister Rita were like sister and we had some great times. I used to take her ever so often to the Dr. She was such a great lady and will be sorely missed.

I knew Giner my whole life as our parents knew each other
from high school on. She was always so jovial and fun to be
around. You all will get a kick out of my last memory of her.
My Mom Claire, asked me if I would drive her, Giner and Mitch to their 60th Solvay High Reunion at Tommy Dell's (now Twin Trees II) They were all so excited and looked great. I still can picture each of them when I picked them up
afterward and how chatty and cute they were talking about what...

Pat and Bill...
I remember your Mom from many many years ago. She was an absolute wonderful person. I remember how she was so loving and kind to me when Mike was killed. My sympathies to you and your family. You both have been through a lot this past year (w/your Mom passing, Bill). Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers.

The passing of Aunt Ginny represents the final chapter in the Book of Radfords-Hammonds-Shiels-Dorans. We who have witnessed the passing of this generation especially mourn her loss...the loss of a dear and compassionate lady. Our hearts go out to Pat and Bill, John and Marianne, Eileen and Don,and the grandchildren and their families.

I was not fortunate enough to know Ginny well, but I thouroughly enjoyed the times we spent together. She was a charming and delightful lady.
