Carolyn(&family) – Your mom was wonderful – I remember when she made the tuna sandwichs becuase it was Lent for dinner before my surprise birthday. I lost my Mom in August 2006 and I know your mom was was so much like mine – great friend & mom and extra special grandma! – You will see her in your childen’s eyes at I do Luke’s – God bless!
I worked with Kathleen at St. Charles for many years. We had so much fun and I will never forget those wonderful times. Was sorry to hear she had passed away. I will never forget her and the ‘good old days at St. Charles’.
Marie and Tom,
I am saddened to hear of Kathleen’s death. I had totally lost contact with all the Quinlan’s following Frank’s death. I thought that Kathleen and JT had moved to Texas. Kathleen and Eleanor taught me religion and how to blow smoke rings while I ‘helped’ them with their housework. My wife Trish and I still live next door to your old cottage on Conesus Lake. We tore down the three little cottages and built a new year round home. We moved the little green house on the shore where Dick used to sleep to our property long ago. Now Carolyn Pratt sleeps there occasionally. I retired from Rochester Gas and Electric after almost 40 years and now consult from home. I must be out of town on Wednesday but will be thinking of you. Please call or stop to visit.
Our thoughts and prayers are with your family during this time of loss.
sorry to hear of your loss god bless you all
