To Tish and all the "McHugh Girls",
With all she had to do, Mrs. McHugh always had room for one more, and I was lucky enough to be that person so many times. She always was interested in what you were doing and I will always feel blessed to have had her in my life. She was truly a special and remarkable woman. My thoughts are with you even thought I am not with you today.

Dear Peg and family,
I'm so sorry for the loss of your Mother. Your Mom was one of the most gracious and elegant women that I have ever known. When I think of growing up in Miners Mills I always remember the McHugh family ( & Bruno the dog).
My Mom and Dad always held Jack and Marie McHugh in the highest personal regards. I'm sorry I will not be able to attend the service. My thoughts and prayers are with everone in your family at this sad time. I know your Mom is in a better place looking down at her wonderful 6 daughters and grandchildren. Quite a legacy.
Fondly,
Jim Montague

I have such fond memories of my time with "Gram" at the Torbik house. She wasn't my grandmother, but considering my own grandmother was from Miners Mills and also born in 1912, I almost felt like Melissa's grandmother and mine were interchangeable.
My deepest sympathies to the McHugh family (i.e. my second family). I'm sorry I'm so far away and cannot be there to grieve with you.
