Not sure what to say?

Terry & Family,
I was so sorry to hear about Fran. It has been a long time since Meeks Bay, but those times will always have a special place in my heart. I still think about the McAteer's everytime I'm there.

Liz, Terry and kids,
What a great lady and a wonderful life she had! She is finally at peace. We all remember her affectionately. Prayers to you and the whole family.

Dear Tom, Tim and Terry,
First impressions are lasting.
A few months after Terry arrived at Commadore Sloat our teacher, Mrs. Barrango, told us of the untimely death of your dad. I felt sad although I didn't know Terry well yet or your mom at all. That afternoon I read a quote of hers in the newspaper that I have never forgotten: "How do I tell my 10- year-old son that his dad is not coming home?"

Dear Tom, Tim, and Terry,
I was very saddened to hear today of the death of your mom. She was always such a kind and thoughtful lady, a very hospitable and caring neighbor, and a great and very admired friend of all the Driscolls. Sincerely, MIke Driscoll Jr.

Hey Mac, Jude would have enjoyed knowing your mom as I did. Thanks for the call last night. I feel it a privilege to have known her and to be on your call list! The picture is how I remember her but I can't remember how I looked back in "the day". Could you 'scan' the picture you took of me, your mom and my favorite beverage, on the deck at your place at Meeks Bay circa 1967? Could you be so kind and bring it when you, Nance and Maggie come to visit.
God bless you and your family and...

Truely one of a kind - a great lady and a great San Franciscian !
