The first time I was introduced to Mrs O'Connor was about 18 years ago at a dinner dance. After a couple of minutes she patted the chair next to her and asked me to sit down. I talked for about an hour as if I had known her my whole life.Any future times we met it was like picking up where we left off last time... like talking to my own mother in Ireland.A great loss to Chicago tonight and may she Rest In Peace.
