A Fitting Farewell

Aunt Theresa's funeral at St. Catherine's was not only a celebration of her life and her faith, but also of her Irish heritage.  Thank you Uncles David, Dickie and Robert for all of the thought and love that you put into our final farewell to Theresa.  We will cherish the memory in our hearts!

Theresa said she considered herself an "Allen," and many of us were there to say our final goodbyes.

Uncle Dickie took some pictures at the request of Aunt Catherine (Sister S.) because she could not be there.
