Dear George,Mary Ann,Marge and John, I am so very sorry to hear of your wonderful Mom passing on. I fist met your parents when we moved to Aldan in the sixties. Such good, wonderful people. Always willing to help anyone who needed it. Your mom, my sister and I covered many garage sales and had a lot of fun together. We got together when I visited back east. I also had the pleasure of her company when she stayed with us for a few days here in California. She said Northern California looked so much like Ireland. I don't visit much anymore and Mary never made it back, as we had planned. She lived her life to the fullest and adored her children and grandchildren. That was one of the last conversations we had. We have not stayed in touch in the last years. Both of our lives were pretty busy with our life's events and our families. It was an honor to call your mom & dad friends and I will always remember them. I know you miss her so much. It is so hard to carry on without a beloved one. But remembering her that's most likely what she would say, "Carry On" Sincerely, Peg & Dick Hannigan

To my dear cousins,
Your mom was such an example of a good person that was so full of life and had so much get up & go. Her love of Ocean City was deep and there was no place in Ocean City that she did not explore. I often think back at all the fun times we all had at Ocean View and of course at your family home in Aldan. When I work at Strawbridge's she would almost always stop to say hi and don't forget the S&C Warehouse sales that she loved to go to & find just the right GOOD BUY. Your parents are now back together again and in time I hope that your hearts can smile once again with the thought that she is finally at peace. Both of your parents I know are so proud of all of you and your extended families.

Dear George, Mary Ann, Marge and John,
My sincere and deepest sympathy to all of you.
I will always remember your Mom promoting the Mack & Manco pizza and Johnson’s popcorn down the boardwalk of Ocean City, NJ. She always had a smile on her face and was a lot of fun to be around. And what about the Christmas in July party out on the deck that your mom loved so much. Your mom was great and so full of life especially at the shore in Ocean City.
Here is my favorite quote that I hope will help you through this difficult time. It is from the book, Tuesdays with Morrie by Mitch Albom:
“Death is the end of a life not a relationship”.
May you always hold and cherish memories of your mom in your heart forever.
My prayers are with you during this time of sorrow in the loss of your mom.
Sincerely,
Anne Fraser
