I met Mrs O'Brien, just once and she left a long lasting impression, she was warm and had a great sense of humor. She welcomed my daughter and I into her home for one of her grandchildren's birthday parties and treated my daughter as if we were family. My condolances go out to her children, a mom like that will truly be missed.
