Mrs. McCaslin was the best. She was my next door neighbor in Manhasset for many years. She and Ed were great and I often think of them. Of the neighborhood crew the last one standing is my mother who is 96. They were a great bunch of friends who socialized together all the time. Even though she is many years older than the last time I saw her she still looks the same with that signature braid. The McCaslins were wonderful! Both are missed.

Aunt Marian and her beloved Mac had a wonderful life together. After he departed in 99, she continued to make the most of every day with friends, family or venturing out on her own to the end of this chapter. So many fond memories of Aunt Marian. One of the most uplifting and fun people I have known. God Bless You.
