First of all, my deepest condolences to the O’Hara Family and Friends on the loss back in 2015 of your beloved, BARBARA.From the marvels of the digital world, ( sadly & somberly) noticed here Obit in a Fb page on the ol’ Providence Street Grammar School … where Mrs. O’Hara was my 4th grade teacher.I can remember her – now some fifty-eight(58) years ago – as a very attractive and skillful elementary school teacher that even a little nine(9) year-old kid could admire ….. my GOD, this all brings back so many memories – mostly good – from the recesses of that beautiful structured neighborhood school house that carries so many wonderful years of memories for so many kids … now older adults – and their families – that we really wish one could actually experience them in some form again …May Our Blessed Risen LORD welcome Mrs. O’Hara into His Heavenly Kingdom and extend such goodness and LOVE to All ~ Amen ~ Alleluia!
