Dear Harrington family,



We just found out today about your mom's passing. My parents, Doug and Mary Anne, used go to go Cis' and Kerry to Derry all the time, and when my sister and I came along, they would take us too. Great memories. Your mother was a great lady. We are so sorry. Take care.



Love and prayers,

Kathleen, Mary Anne, and Bernadette Barnes.
