Mrs. M. Was such a wonderful and important part of my childhood (and my life) from the time I was 8 years old. The memories are too numerous to record, but tearing up the kitchen floor one summer's week is a favorite. Our payment was a milkshake with her new blender. She was the neighborhood's mom - always somehow knew where we were and what we were up to. I thank God she was there and that she was in my life for 80 years. She was one of the Lord's gems.
Love and prayers,
Tom (and Marytherese) Croarkin
P.S. - I am sure Butch is happy to see her :)
