Happy Birthday, Aunt Kay Coughlin! Numero LXXXII. As of this September 11th, she'll be married to Uncle Bill Coughlin for 61 years. Aunt Kay was born Mary Catherine Smith, the daughter of a Smith and a Gilmore. She is a force of nature--knows and remembers almost everything about the family; a pillar of St. Mary Magdalene Church in Willowick for probably the last 50 years or so; a force in her neighborhood and city and family; the original multi-tasker! Happy Birthday, Aunt Kay!
Yesterday's celebration at her daughter Jackie's house involved some 50 or more family and friends stuffed in Jackie's small Mentor house and garage. I saw cousins, their spouses, and their children, who range probably from age 3 to 30's. I try hard but can't keep track of everyone and struggle with the names of the next generation of Coughlin's and Coughlin cousins. But what a wonderful family!
