I am Nancy McShea Gubicza. I remember My Aunt Claire being devastated st the loss of Donald O’Grady. His family was soo young and I know she was always willing to help her next door neighbor- friend Helen any way she could. I went to school with young Donald and was always good buds thereafter. God Bless this Family!!!!!!
So sorry for your loss. Your Mom was a strong woman. I met her in 1974, when I moved on to Fanshawe St. she would say hello when I walked by with my screaming baby! She would tell me, it will get better, then I found out she had 7?, and was a new widow!!! I never once complained again about my baby! God Bless her, im sure she went directly to heaven!
RIP Chachi
