My sympathy to all the McClanaghan family and Eileen.
Your Mother certainly lived a full life.She was a pioneer for women,being a member of the State Police.That was a surprise to me.
I am so happy she was able to celebrate her 90th birthday with her family and friends at Spain's last summer. Both Bob and Jane told me she had a great time. Another wonderful memory you have to cherish.
I am sure she has joined the ranks of the many wonderful Mount Pleasant and Narragansett people in heaven. She was always so kind and pleasant.
May she rest in peace.
Sincerely,
MarciaMcVicker
