Dearest Grandma Maggie and family,

We will never forget your sweet kindness. We were very blessed to have you living a long healthy life. You brought us a big loving family. From the start of my Great Dad to my wonderful Aunts, Uncles, and many cousins. When you were younger I remember you dancing the Irish Jig at all of the weddings. We will miss your nutcups and shortbread cookies you used to bring to the parties. You will always be with us in spirit at the O'Hare Christmas Party, sitting on Santa's lap with your beautiful smile looking down upon us.

Love You Always, Pray For Us.

Lynn, Stan, Kaitlyn, and Phillip

Our deepest sympathy to the entire O'Hare Family. The death of one's Mother, is perhaps, severing the closest of all human ties. For one's Mother, one is "always" a child, no matter what age. She was a remarkable woman filled with love for her family. Her family is her legacy. She was a shining example of the best humanity has to offer. Today's sorrow has to be trimmed with the comfort that she is now with the love of her life and the father of her children in death as they were joined in life. We'll always remember her telling us "I'm not afraid to die - I'm just worried that Arthur won't recognize me". Slowly we will all come to terms with the paradoxical circumstance that make our world a lesser place without her and yet at the same time, a far better place because she passed by here.

May God be with you.
