Tony & Pat,
I was so sorry to hear that your mom passed away. My memory of her was that of a vibrant, fun loving lady. Thoughts of your parents bring back many memories of my childhood. They always treated me special and I know it was simply because I was a girl! Your mom let me hang my wedding dress, from a light fixture, in a spare bedroom for a few days leading up to my wedding. She told me how she would come in often and just gaze upon it thinking of all the memories it would hold...

Dear Pat, Tony and Diana- We were struck by the eloquence of the readings at your Mom's funeral on Saturday. It was nothing less than she deserved.
Also, the gathering after the Mass was such a celebration of the wonderful woman she was. So many fun-funny-touching stories were shared. The only flaw? She wasn't there to chuckle with us. What a gem she was. Thank you all for a memorable time. Best love, Hank and Carol

Dear Tony & Patrick: Truly, one of the greatest joys of my childhood was knowing you and your wonderful parents. My hope is that you, both, continue to remember and reflect the love your mom and dad shared with you and with anyone fortunate enough to know them. Often times, we don't realize the impact we make in someone's life. I want you to know that your mom (and dad) contributed in such a positive way to me.

Patrick and Family,
You have my deepest sympathy. Your Mom was a very gracious lady. Meeting your mom and Dad at their home back in 1985 is one of my fondest memories. Even thought I was just a shirt tail relative your Father and Mother made me feel so welcome. Your Mother gave me pictures of my father that I had never seen. She told me stories about one of my father's school teachers. As my own father had passed away when I was three years old, it meant so much to me to have...

She chose to love you, and you blessed her with your love in return. Who you are is a reflection of her love. Share her stories, and she'll never truly be gone, because she made an impact on the world through her children.
Call while you're north. Maybe we can do dinner...

Patrick, Diana and Tony,
The world has lost a wonderful woman! Aunt Cass will be missed for her humor, wit and funny stores of the McCall family growing up. Even at 88 years of age, she was young in spirt and mind. My children were so impressed with her ability to "think young"! God Bless you! Prayers are with you!
Love,
Antoinette and family
