There was a tradition amongst the children in my family. When each of us turned 12 we took a trip all by ourselves to NY to visit grandma and grandpa. The summer after I turned 12 I took the trip, and one day while relaxing in the pool, sipping a milkshake (that was supposed to be ice-cream) that Uncle Eddie had made, Grandma came out of the house in her swim suit.

I jokingly remarked, "Are you going to jump off the diving board?"

To which she replied. "of course I am." Then, to my astonishment, she (then about 85 years old) walked around the edge of the pool, got up on the diving board, and "cannonballed" off, spraying water everywhere.

That's how I remember Grandma: tenacious, daring, and always jovial. I miss her so much, and I bet she's in heaven right now doing cannonballs into an olympic sized swimming pool (one that isn't freezing cold).

I love you so much Grandma!

Love,
Thomas Kilcullen

Mom, "Call us if you need us"

We are missing your whimsy already, though it carries on through Meg and Joey.
Hug John Patrick and all "our deceased family and friends"

Thank you, Bruce, and Mrs. Callanan, she'd be happy to hear your words. And thank you Rebecca - so kind.

Meagan - you as so much like your grandmother.

Love, Maudy M. and Joe.
