May happy memories carry you through this time. We have lovely memories of "Grandma McHugh's" stories and presence at Stephanie, Jenna & Joe's family parties.

As a young child I will always remember Aunt Sally's warm smile and kind words. It has been a while since I have seen her but my memories are that of a kind and gentle woman.
My condolences to the family.
God Bless,

Aunt Sally was a wonderful woman. I will always remember the great times we had as kids every time we visited the homestead on Judson Street. What a wonderful smile she always had on her face even just a couple of months ago when I last saw her. Our love to the whole family. God Bless.

I'm very sorry to hear about Aunt Sally passing away. I can still remember visiting her house in south Evanston when I was younger. Please accept my sincere condolences.
