Dear Uncle Pat, Cheryl & Art, Patricia, Timmy, Tyler & Kimberly & Ali. How do you put so many years of happiness, fun and memories in a paragraph. You can’t. It is impossible to do, especially when someone such as dear as “Auntie Alice” is the person you are talking about.
Our family, “The McMyne’s” spent many Summers when we were younger with the Flanagans on 19 Sagamore Circle in Rochester, NY, and we looked forward to it every single Summer. Basically, because that was our only vacation. There were 6 kids and the station wagon would be packed and it was great!! We would stay for a week because in those days it would take my poor father (Uncle John-now deceased) at least 8 hours to get there! We loved our Auntie Alice and our dear Uncle Pat. They would take us everywhere! Even a trip to Wegmans was like an extra treat. We didn’t have one in Carbondale,PA. at that time.
Also, as we started to get older, I myself, (Mary Ann) spent every Summer up there with my cousin Cheryl watching her practice with her recitals and helping my Auntie Alice with chores around the house. There was only time that I didn’t last & that was the first time & my father and my Uncle Pat had to meet half-way because I was lonesome. Other than that, I was their other daughter!
My mother Marie is the oldest sister, and she is 95. My heart breaks for her because her younger sister just died in May.
Again, from all of us back in Carbondale, PA, our deepest condolences to everyone affected by this devastating loss. All our love and prayers to all of you.
Mary Ann and Marie McMyne,
Carbondale l, PA
