Most Recent Reflection
View all 26 ReflectionsYou were my mom Calene's cousin and my Grandma Catherine Brown's (O'hanlon) nephew, and my mom always talked about you and how much she loved you and how close you were as kids. She would come and visit from California and stay for the summer and thought of you as her brother and looked up to you. I've never got to meet the O'Hanlon side of the family, but it makes me proud to know you were a big influence on my mom. It's also probably why my father was a cop also!
