Not sure what to say?

Miriam Cavanaugh was my aunt, my Godmother and my daughter's Godmother. She never failed to make me think or to make me laugh. I miss her and am thankful that part of her legacy is a wonderful relationship with my cousins and other members of my Collins/Farr family.

Our deepest sympathies for and condolences to the Collins
Cavanaugh families on the loss of such an accomplished and inspirational influence and presence.

Dear Laurie and Family:

I'm so sorry to find family members in this way. I have fond memories of her and know my mother also thought highly of her. The cousin mentioned in the paper, Jean Farr Wollam from CA. is my Godmother and I haven't had contact with her either since the early 70's. So sorry to have missed time in these later years after I...

Professor Cavanaugh helped guide me through a rough patch in the late '60's and helped me establish a career in writing. My condolences go out to her family and friends. Thank you Mrs. Cavanaugh.
