To all the Hourihans, Joe, Dennis, Nancy and Kevin,
Your mother was a true marvel. Everyone who met her fell in love with her. I hope her generous spirit inspires you all to follow in her footsteps of hospitality, grace, good humor and of course perfect hair and makeup.
Much love
Michael

Joe, Dennis, Nancy, Kevin and all the “kids”: Your mother and Nana (and my aunt) was truly one in a million. Her influence on our family will be manifested for generations to come. We are sad that we won’t be the beneficiaries of her admonitions and devilment any more. But we’ll always have wonderful memories and laughter when we recall events and interactions we’ved shared over the years. Our love, sympathy and condolences. Bruce (“grabby”) and JoAnne.
