Dear Madeleine and Family,

I was so sorry to see the notice on the death of your mother. She and your father raised a most wonderful daughter in you, Madeleine. I remember what a fine Spanish student--and person-- you were when I had the privilege of teaching you at McAuley High School. Remember, "time moves on, friends move on, life moves on. Love stays."

You are all in my prayers.

Abrazos/Love,

Ellen O'Reilly-Garcia
