Love and memories from Elizabeth in Tallaght

Soon after coming from Ireland, Maura became a member of St. John's choir at my church. I met her there in the choir. Her smiling Irish eyes and lilt of Irish laughter endeared her to me immediately. My twin Al was also a member of the choir. He and Maura were dating soon. Our family was delighted when they announced their engagement. The memories are wonderful.

I met Mrs. Wait once when I was visiting Carolyn at their home in San Bruno. She was very nice to me, and I loved her Irish brogue. My deepest sympathies to the family.

Yes I too remember Maura visiting us in Tallaght - and her making the trip from Cork to Dublin and back in one evening, to us an unheard of long journey without sleeping over.
But I best got to know Maura when I stayed with her several times while at TA conferences in San Francisco. I remember her saying how much she loved to have relatives to stay - I'm married to her first cousin Tony Cleary - and she certainly gave me the warmest of welcomes. May she have the happiest of eternities,...
