Dearest Mindy and family, So sorry to hear about your mom and grandmom. What a tribute she'd be picked up by limo for her last day of work!! Now that I know her name is Marlene (thanks Sean), I will keep her in my prayers. God Bless You All!! Love, Reenie, Andrew and Katie

One word. Thanksgiving. When you showed up at Sean and Mindy's on Thanksgiving -- and the overwhelming aroma of turkey, stuffing and the works, greeted you -- you knew Mrs. McGarvey was in the kitchen.

For the past countless number of Thanksgivings Sean and Mindy opened their home, and Mrs. McGarvey opened her generous heart to all family. That's the way I'll remember Mrs. McGarvey -- tending to the turkey, greeting you with a warm hug and a smile. She made the world a better place. God Speed Mrs. McGarvey!

Chas,
My heart goes out to you and your family during this difficult time. A Mother is one who can take the place of all others but whose place no one else can take. Please remember, and I hope this soon brings you comfort, that we never lose the people we love. They live the rest of our lives with us in our heart.
