My poor Mom was a very intelligent woman, HOWEVER, when it came to selecting a mate, she failed, not once, but twice.  She married my father, Daniel Maloney, who was a Policeman in Tuckaho and Eastchester, NY.  He was insanelyj ealous of her so they divorced, and weeks later, I was born,  My mom had to work and got a job with the Tarrytown, NY Telephone Company while her mom, whom I always called Nanny, raised me, with the help of Mom's sister AnnaMae.

When I was four, Mom remarried Garrett Murphy and had three sons by him, Tommy, Bobby and Garry.  Brother Tom became a "top Sergeant in the Army and brother Bob passed away after going through many different health issues,  Brother Garry is still alive and lliving with his daughter Tricia,

My Mom worked all her life, mostly with the New York Telephone Co. as an operator.  She enjoyed  participating in Flea Markets and going on trips with the Telephone Company Pioneers which she was a member of.  Mom had some very close friends and will be remembered and missed by all of us.  I loved you
very much Mom, and I wish I had told you so, but I think you knew.  Audrey

I'd look out the window and see Aunt Caty get out of her car with a box of goodies from the bakery and my Mom, Aunt Caty and I would go into the kitchen and have tea and whatever great bakery item Aunt Caty had brought that day.  I remember the way Mom and Aunt Caty would go on and talk and laugh and I would just sit there, listen, and fill my face with goodies and wish I had a sister just like Aunt Caty.  She was so loving and kind and I miss her and will always remember her.
