More excerpts from my autobiography Broken Promises & Shattered Dreams: A DAY OF MOURNING...... The day was May 18, 1969. The day my beloved Nana died, at the age of 62 years old. She passed away, from complications due to her stroke. My own mothers life (Kathleen M. OConnor) has never been the same since. I, myself, was only 1 years old, however, I was the pride & joy, of my Nanas life. My Grandparents were retired in Plantation, Florida (originally from Arlington, Massachusetts), despite all of my Grandfathers money, position in Society, a Doctor himself, close friends in the fields of medicine, education, politics, and music, my Papa just could not save his own wifes Life. My Nanas name, was INEZ M. OCONNOR. Her body was flown on an EASTERN AIRLINES aircraft (privately chartered by my Grandfather). Her body was to be brought back to her beloved Arlington, Massachusetts. I was at the funeral that dark day in 1969 even though I was only 1 year old. My Papa knew so so many famous people, as they were all, very close friends of his over the years. His good pal former U.S. Speaker-of-the-House Tippi ONeil, Edward Kennedy, Joan Kennedy, Jackie Kennedy (widow of our former President John F. Kennedy), many colleagues from my Papas hospital St. Elizabeths Hospital in Brighton, MA, Cardinal Cushing from the archdiocese of Boston, music friends from the World of classical music, my own mom & Dad, myself, my Uncle Peter Neil OConnor, my aunt Cornelia S. OConnor, my aunt Helen OConnor, my uncle Robert Kelly, my Grand-uncle Roger Stevens, my Grand-aunt Catherine Powers, and my beloved friend Jane Y. Haley, along with many many close family friends of my Nanas, were all in attendence that day at St. Agnes Cathedral in Arlington, Massachusetts on the day of my Nanas funeral. It was the saddest day of my Moms life (my mom, has never to this day, been the same). Burial was in Arlington Cemetary, where to this day, my Nana, is in Gods care. I miss you Nana. Please help me, as I am in hospital and trying to get better one day at a time Nana. I love you. I miss you. Christmas was always your most favorite time of the year. I shall be down to Arlington this weekend, to bring you some flowers, as I will be having a day-pass out of hospital. I look forward to talking with you Nana. I look so forward, to talking with you. Your grandson, love always, with so many hugs, Until, Mark
