Priest:
"She lived a very fulfilled life. 94 years.
It is not how long you live. It is how you play your part.
Working and serving the sick and needy at Northern Westchester Hospital. Working. Editing.
Three boys.
We believe that death is not the end. We move from one existence to another.
You are blessed to have a mother like her.
So your life reflects who this great woman was.
Pray that she will continue to be the seed for your family."
Peter Hull:
"She taught me how to ski.
She taught me how to play tennis:
Chip; Chris and I.
"She loved Fire Island.
Just walking on the beach.
“Lucky Shells” she called them--
Little round shells. Little round shells: round around the edges.
"She kept her emotions in check. I saw her cry only once.
"You never wanted to let us go, mom.
Now it is our turn: we don’t want to let you go.
But now its time to let you go.
Now we let you go, mom."
Priest:
"Into your hands we commit her spirit Oh Lord." (31st Psalm).

Dear Chris, Peter, Chip,
I was sorry to hear about your mother's death. I love these pictures of her. She was so beautiful. I remember her face so well. She will always be a part of Saltaire to me.
Fondly,
Elizabeth Kelly
Thanks for sending this. Wish I could have been there. I have a collection of "lucky shells" and I'll always think of her when I see them.
