Matt, Misty, and Jenny,
Your mother Nancy was a loving, generous mother, and a caring wife. My prayers are with you in this difficult time. It is a comfort to know that she is at peace and is reunited with her beloved husband, Paul.

To Jenny & Matthew, I was sorry to hear of the loss of your mother.
I'm sorry I never got to know her or her family. I met her at Paul's funeral.
I live here in Modesto, and was married to Paul's uncle, John McCarthy. We lived on a ranch just 1/2 mile from Gene & Ida. All of that generation of McCarthy's have passed on and I am the last one.
My prayers are with you and your families. Ruth McCarthy
