I did not have the pleasure of knowing Mrs. Furlong, but judging her on the character of her youngest child Colleen, I would say 'job well done'.

Dear Furlong Family,
I am sorry to hear of your loss. I have always had a very fond memory of her since days at St. Thomas Aquinas. While at a school function in the canteen, I had a run-in with a very heavy door. Your Mother not only gave me tender care immediately but she carried me all the way home. My Mother and I always warmly remembered her for that. May happy memories always be with you.
