The Conway's were dear friends & neighbors of ours on Oakhill Circle in Malvern, PA as well as Yardley Village, Hershey's Mill, West Chester PA. We got together often over the years---every time we went out together, Frank always drove as he was so tall, he preferred his larger car. Pat always sat in back beside me when I climbed in. Pat ALWAYS, ALWAYS looked SOOOOOOO BEAUTIFUL!!! She was radiant, elegant, dressed in clothes & jewelry to the NINES!!!! PERFECT!!!! We were the BEST of FRIENDS for SOOOOOOO MANY YEARS, it was always a JOY to be together. When she became ill, right from the very start, I could tell right away!!!! They were both so VERY concerned----it was THERE----they were cheerful, chatted with us Just as always, but---- the worry & stress they were under was evident to me----I began to pray, I shared this with Pat, she did not share her problem with me for sometime but I knew. And Pat knew I knew. It broke my heart, I shred my worry with my prayer warriors from my Bible Study I miss her terribly even after 6 years. And I miss Frank too. I hope to see them with my dear JIM when we are all in Heaven with Jesus Christ our Precious Lord.

"Mom Conway"...
I have known you almost as long as I have my own mom...and I love you like a second mom. It is hard to believe that i have known you since I was in third grade and I did not just know you...you always made me feel like part of your family...from those days long ago when Eileen and I played in the alley behind your house in Ocean CIty, to the weekends I would spend at your house on Oak HIll Circle...and again, coming full circle again to the many beach days we spent talking and laughing on 42nd street beach in Ocean City. I will always remember your smile, the way you always showed such concern and interest about whatever was going on in my life, and mostly, how you always opened your home and your heart to me. I know you fought to the bitter end, but heaven needed you more than we did I guess. You are loved and missed by so many, but I know you will always be here in spirit, and your kind spirit and warm heart will live on forever in the lives of your family and all who loved you so much...I will see you on the other side, but until then, I know you are smiling down on all of us who love and miss you so much ~ Gina Abarno-Johnson

My heart and prayers are with Frank and the children and grandchildren at this sad time of saying farewell to their beloved wife, mother, and grandmother. As a classmate from SLA I have known and loved Onnie since 1950. Her inspiration was incredible as she dealt with her illness and cherished the life she so loved. God rest her great heart in peace and comfort those who love her. Sr. Jeanne Marie Hatch, shcj

Our hearts go out to the whole Conway family as we say "BYE-FOR-NOW" to such a precious friend who has put up such a valiant fight for so long. She did NOT want to leave her beloved family! The Conway kids all went to school with our kids. Pat & I walked on Oak Hill Circle, Malvern for many years, then we were so happy to be good neighbor friends in Yardley Village, Hershey's Mill. Jim, Frank, Pat & I enjoyed many wonderful lunches together, we shared our love of family, grandkids, animals, our dear husbands, each other, & our faith. We sadly bid a very fond temporary goodbye to such a precious and dearly beloved friend.
Jim, Jane Alexander, Ian, Ivy & Erin
