We didn't know Mrs. Hanrahan that well, but living next door to her son, Marty, we saw the results of her parenting as Marty is a wonderful father to Pat and Tommy, as well as a great husband to Colleen. As the saying goes, the apple never falls far from the tree. May the family have peace and comfort in knowing she is now in His Hands. We will keep you in our prayers.
