O'Gara family you have my deepest condolences on the loss of your mother. She was a very understanding woman to have put up with the pranks and mischief my Dad had bestowed upon your family, ie; the man eating plant he planted in your garden while you were away on vacation and tweety bird on your garage. My prayers are with you all at this time.
