To the McCarthy Family: I am so very sorry for your loss. Your mother was a good friend to me and Kay Morris. She was a great comfort to me especially when I lost both my parents in one year. Besides all she was a wonderful co-worker to be with, in all our years at Willow Manor. She loved and beamed with pride especially when she spoke about Nikki and of course Zoe. My sincere and deepest Sympathy to you all. Laurie Quinlan
