View all 10 ReflectionsGod bless you, I've been told 6 Loughman brothers came over in the famine. Believe all or most of us here are descendants of these. My father went to Ireland in the early 80's met relatives. I have ridden with my family & several others on Harleys to the 9-11 site several times to pay respect. I saw your name on one of these trips. Again May God Bless your Soul & remember you are not forgotten.
