Dear McNamara Family,
I never met your Mom , but your Dad sent my son a picture of them sitting on the couch in a Christmas card to my son. Your Dad spoke of your Mom alot. Mac drove my son to and from Special Schools for many years. Tommy has Down Syndrome .When he worked for Alpha Bus Company. We live on Kedzie in Midlothian . My son Tommy loved your Dad "Mac". And he continued to send him cards at Christmas and On Macs Birthday which was the same day as my husbands May 2nd. He was a great guy and a wonderful friend. He will truly be missed.
Bless you and your family.
The McKeon Family
