"Canny" and family- (& Bobby & Joseph)
To say the world is a lot sadder w/out "Peg" is an understatement- this was a woman who was so joyous, and giving, and made me laugh just being 'her'- we all have special memories and mine will be forever embedded - but you, my dear, sweet, wonderful, friend Mary, you are/were the best daughter and friend to your mom-- we had the best times with her - ALWAYS - remember going to NY to visit Joseph? - She would just shake her head at us and keep smoking her cigarette - she was the best - and treated me just like a daughter - and i loved her as a 'mom' -- she has very special angel wings now - because of the joy and happiness she spread to everyone - and the prayers she always felt she needed to say just for ME!!! God knows I always needed them..."Canny" you are in my prayers, hon-- as are all of the Canny family - I just wish I had been there to share in the celebration of her well lived LIFE!!! - LOVE YOU ALL... "Renison"
