My sincere sympathy to the Walsh girls. I know first hand how difficult is to lose a great Mom. May all your wonderful memories bring you comfort now and always.

Sincere sympathy to your family from ours. She was a Girl Scout leader, too in our St Matthew days.

Anne- I was so sorry to hear of your mother's passing. We had just spoken about her, too, during our recent lunch.
After reading about your her life of love, it is easy to see where you get that "special" ability to relate to people by offering them your complete attention and kind manner. We will see you soon. Please take care and know that we are thinking of you.

Mrs. Walsh was like a second Mom to me. I loved her spirit and her sense of humor. I have so many sweet memories of growing up around her and "Dad Walsh". Memories of her giving us rides to school... of her baking after school... of both her and Mr. Walsh spending time at our house on Sinclair Avenue and also at our home on the Cape with my own Mom and Dad And who could ever forget her great "cancan performance" at St. Matthew minstrel show ?!
She was one in a million and she will be sadly missed by so many who all wanted her to live forever. I'm so glad that I got to spend some time with her recently on several occasions. My Mom and Dad loved her and Mr. Walsh too like family. I like to think that they are all hanging out together and reminiscing about old times. Rest in peace, "Mom Walsh", you will always be remembered with a smile.
