Shirley, Paulie, Linda and all,
I heard this morning from Mom, your mother has passed. I am sure she will enjoy a cherished place in heaven. I am sorry for your loss and know you will miss her dearly. But, please know her spirit and spunk remains in each of you and I am sure all of her grand-children and great-grandchildren.
I will cherish our camping trip in Maine as your Mom bless her heart, laughed quietly, shaking her head in wonder as Linda, Shirley, and Mom danced through the campground while Dorothy managed to fold herself up in the chair! She and Aunt Shirley fretted over how they could possibly get you girls to quiet down and settle in for the night. You guys were having none of it ~ preferring to dance between the campsites, happily teaching anyone who was willing to polka. Not one of you were the least bit worried by the repeated reminders from the park rangers that it was after hours ~ quiet hours were in force! What more could Mag or Aunt Shirley do but shake their heads and laugh at you crazy girls! To this day, it makes me smile.
Mag was a wonderful woman, who touched countless lives in so many meaningful ways. Our prayers are with you all ... Kellie, Elizabeth and Becca
