The MacManama brothers,
So sorry for the loss of your beautiful mother (Mush). I grew up on Summer Street and babysat for Alfred a few times!
I had a visit with your mother a few years ago at Saint Mary's church when I was in Waltham for a memorial mass for my mom!
I'm sure she's very proud of all of you.
God Bless you all!

I met your mother while working at the Waltham VNA. She was a board member when I met her.
I always enjoyed her sense of humor. We enjoyed various social activities over a period of years. I am sad about her passing. Mush was a lovely person and gave to the community.
