Pat, Kathy, Karen, Paul, Mike, Tom, Jim, Bill, and all your families;
Our love, thoughts, and prayers are with you all during this difficult time. We, like you, know that your Mom is free from pain and suffering and is with her beloved Tom as they both have everlasting eternity together.
With a large family like the 'McKeon's' were (and still are as they are growing by leaps and bounds), we had many wonderful memories together growing up. Aunt Betty always opened her heart, home, and love for all of us. She will be sorely missed.
