So sorry to miss the funeral for Elizabeth. She was such a dear and kind friend to my mom. I am sure they are catching up right now.

I can remember as a young lad, going to my Aunt Elizabeth's house in South City with my Dad and Uncle Charlie & Al Shanks(Aunt Elizabeth's step father) to help paint the interior of her home. Al Shanks was in charge of the one gallon of red wine. Afterwards we would all have a great home cooked Aunt Elizabeth dinner with her wonderful home made bread. The three told old stories that only siblings could share. She was the best person in my world, my dad's sister, they were so very different....

Aunt Elizabeth was a remarkable woman who I remember was devoted to her family. When I was very small she gave my sister, Robin and I the book, "The Little Prince" which we loved and cherished for generations. I know her family was waiting for her on the other side. God Speed.

God Speed Ma Whelan. I remember many fine times at the Whelan house in my formative years. I will always remember the smell of bread baking as I entered the house. My brother purchased Denny's car when he passed. The adventures with Carl and Kevin remain fresh in my memory. Mrs. Whelan was my fathers' Godmother when he converted. May she attain a "high place" in heaven.
