My deepest sympathy to the Nolan and Cavanaugh families. I went to St. Margaret of Scotland with Janet and also met her again at work in the Water Department. She was a very friendly woman and I enjoyed working with her. She will be missed. My thoughts and prayers are with her family during this difficult time.

Sincerely,

Diane Mc Gowan
