Our prayers go out to all the family. Mrs. McGrath was my husband's teacher at Melrose Elementary. She was a special lady who really cared for her students. We stopped about 6-7 years ago and visited with her at home and even though it had been over 50 years, she still remembered my husband. May God bless you all at this time. Pat Carson
