Kathleen O’Connor says
Cindy I am so sorry to hear about the death of your Mom. She was always welcoming and kind to me as I made the trip to Swastika with you after school (I got to ride the school bus!) and in your Federal home too. I admire her ambition, determination and focus on raising you and Kathy, on her job, friends and career. We had strong role models, didn’t we? I am sure she is playing bridge somewhere now.
