To the Entire Cashman Family,

Whatever kind words spoken about her will never be enough. She always had a charming smile, and made one feel welcome in her home. She was indeed part of the "Greatest Generation", and
my admiration for her is only overshadowed by a sense of loss. I know Rita was glad to see her. May she rest in peace.

My prayers and thoughts are with you all. I think often of Mr and Mrs Cashman. She was a delightful lady, and very proud of having graduated from the University of Georgia in a time when most women didn't attend college. She reminded me many times that she graduated exactly 50 years before I did.
