What a small, but brilliant angel was Mrs. Gately! She would faithfully bring my father, Bruno Taylor, home from daily mass and make sure he was secured. She always gave me a friendly smile and a hug. She and her sons were faithful servants in making sure we had all the dry supplies for the Annual Gifts of Love Christmas Party. She will be missed by many, but we rejoice in knowing that she has risen to be with our Lord, Jesus Christ.
I'm so sorry for your grief. I always enjoyed talking and visiting with you and your mom. Memories are our roses in the winter. Best to you and family.
Aunt Ann was a very fine lady and I know she is reunited in Heaven with Uncle Robert and every departed member of the family that she meant so much to!! Condolences to her children and grandchildren!! Cathy Gately
Rest in peace, Aunt Ann. We'll miss you. Much love, always.
