I am pleased to speak for the MELVIN families (esp the Ohio “branch”) to speak highly of both of your parents. Mike and Dennis will have similar feelings. We rejoiced in the life-long friendship of both with our Sport and Margaret…and the dedication to Circleville OH. Love and blessings to all. Ron(nie).
I am so very sorry to hear of Catherine’s passing. She was a long time member of the Daughters of Isabella, Marian Circle 911, in Fairborn, Ohio. While we didn’t get to see her due to the distance, we always enjoyed her letters and her devotion to our organization. Please know that we will remember her at our next meeting and pray a decade of the Rosary in her honor. Suzanne Milliron, Past Regent Daughters of Isabella, Marian Circle 911
