RIP Mrs. Mulvan. You were a part of my teenage years in Hamilton when I was growing up and at the time, a good friend of your son Brian. You always made your home, my home, whenever I was around with sleep overs, pool visits, and staying out too late with Brian. And you always had a smile on your face. I know it must be hard on your husband James (a great guy who always made me feel at home as well) after so many years and your family. God bless.
RIP...Mrs Mulvan
You were part of my Childhood and you left a hole in my heart.
My condolences to the Entire family.
