To the children of Mrs Walsh:

I was glancing at the death notices this morning and your Mom's notice caught my eye because my Mom was in the Bishop Hogan class of 1945...I have my Mom's year book and was wanting to see who your Mom was and I couldn't find her picture. My Mom passed away in 1998...but she told me she was the first class to go through all four years in the actual school building and that there was one class before them (1944) that went to school in the convent their freshman year because the school wasn't ready yet...My Mom was Anna Marie Carrollo and she was born in 1928 and her sister Rose Marie was born in 1927 and she went to St Theresa's High School and College. I'm going to call my Aunt and see if she knew your Mom...My condolences to your family at this very difficut time

Sincerely,

Ann Brosnahan DiVita
