Although I'm all grown up now, you're still Mrs. Hennessy to me. Thank you for opening up your home to the Hillside girls basketball team all those years. You made the best spaghetti! :))). I remember wishing I could stay or come back more often...your life has touched me in a fond way that I always remember....and it was always evident that coach Henny had something very special.

I just went through the photo gallery and I must say that my cousin Patty Jane was a beautiful person outside and in. Her ever-ready smile and good cheer was evident in every picture. I know about the "third degree of kindred" and all, but I loved my cousin Patty Jane.
