To my friends, the Henahans,

I was so saddened to read that your wonderful mother had passed away this past Monday. She was one-of-a-kind, warm, and loving, and I know she will be very much missed by all whose lives she touched. She was very patient and motherly with me, letting me spend many of my growing up years at your house in Gamont, and I'll always remember her and her wonderful voice and great sense of humor.
God bless you all, and give you comfort.

Dear Children of Mrs. Henahan,

I know how much you are hurting right now. I lost one of my parents about 5 years ago. I went to school with Tim and I knew that there was a lot of you kids, because I was from a large family myself. I pray that your grief will end soon. Take care, and God bless all of you.

I loved her as a mother and will miss her. But most of all I will miss hearing her laugh.

Love ,

Mimi
