Dearest Callaghan family,
I was sad to learn of your mom's passing. I fondly remember growing up in Lagrange, and hanging out on Stone ave, then across the street. I am certain she is happily at rest in heaven. May God bless all of you, and keep you during this challenging time.
Love & Hugs,
Jim Reich
