To all the McDonough children: Years ago, living in the neighborhood, I was so fortunate to have you all and your parents as friends. Your mother was such a great role model for me. Being new to the area, with young children, I will always be grateful for your family's support and friendship. You also had a great trampoline.. Your memorial service is such a nice tribute. Our condolences to you all.
