Dear O'Brien family,
I worked with your mom at Roanoke Restaurant Service over 12 years ago and thought the world of her. I loved her personality! She'd make cookies for me to bring home often and still remembered my daughters even years after we quit working together. She's a gem and loved you kids so much and talked of you every day. I sure will miss her. Love to you all - Merissa (Sachs) Cole
