How fitting this was because he showed us on a daily basis how he loved God. His faith and Christianity were central in his life. Bill was a good and faithful husband, father and friend. He provided for his wife and seven children with great patience. He made each one of us feel special. He Encouraged us to be our best. he never gave up on us - no matter what we did wrong. We knew that we were loved by him. Dad was a holy man. We never heard a vulgar word come from his mouth. "Oh, brother" was probably his gruffest response when he didn't agree with something that was said. He might raise his voice to us kids with questions such as "What are all these lights doing on around here?" or "Close that door - are we heating the outside?" There were times when the words "you dirty dog" might come up but these were almost exclusively reserved to hanging wallpaper. And speaking of his work as a handyman in our home... Dad was a man of many talents. He did plumbing repair, woodworking, painting and so many other fix-it-up projects. Looking back, I'm sure all these efforts were to save money but there was also a sense of pride that he had in a job well done. He came up with innovative, useful items. He combined a discarded door and the top of an old TV cabinet to make a double desk for our schoolwork, We had a very small kitchen. To provide seating for a growing family around the dinner table, he built unique benches that were fixed to the two walls and joined in the corner. The bench seat tops lifted up on hinges to reveal extra deep storage for items that Mom couldn't fit in the kitchen cupboards. Dad accepted the burdens of life quietly and without complaining. He was a man of courage. In the early 1970s, he lost his job from a manufacturing company that he had served for 21 years. Initially, he was out of work for over a year. With the slump in the economy and industry in general, he went through a series of jobs over about nine years. Those were tough times, but through it all, he accepted the situation with quiet fortitude. In experiencing his strength and determination, we kids could feel secure that somehow this would all work out. And it did. He finally got a job as a purchasing agent for Milwaukee County where he worked for ten years. He happily retired in 1995. In all these trials, he never lost his sense of humor. His quick wit is probably what we and many people will remember best about Dad. It wasn't that he told jokes or funny stories. Rather, it was the one-liners and rapid comebacks in conversation. He was gentle and playful in all of this. He never used humor at someone else's expense. Dad genuinely enjoyed people. He was a welcoming host for family gatherings, visits with friends and particularly delighted in having people join him for over 20 annual St. Patrick's Day parties at our home. He found great pleasure in bringing people together with a good party. When he had the time - this was especially in his retirement years, he liked to walk about the neighborhood, exchanging hellos and of course sharing a bit of his humor. Dad could always put a smile on someone's face. As his children grew up, left home and began families of their own, Dad was very much present to his grandchildren. There was the gentle teasing like "how about some sauerkraut on your peanut butter sandwich?" He took the time to just be with each grandchild. He also relished talking, listening, taking walks, teaching them to play cards and sharing his love of sports. Bill took great pride in the grandchildren and their activities and interests. They knew by his whole demeanor that they had his total acceptance and unconditional love. Dad was diagnosed with lung cancer just before Thanksgiving. Through the whole ordeal of hospitalization, Dad kept his good humor. Prior to a surgical procedure, one of the nurses asked him what he preferred to be called. He replied "Sweet William." And sweet is a very good way to describe his attitude. When he heard the news that there was no successful treatment for the form of cancer he had, he said "I don't want to be hanging on a 10 foot chain, I want 50 feet so I can dance at the end of it." God granted him that blessing. Dad came home with Mom and continued to keep his positive attitude and good humor. Whenever anybody asked him how he was, he always said, "I'm great." With the help of family, the support of Hospice and the prayers of many, many people - Dad was able to be at home, surrounded by the love of his wife, children and grandchildren. Even in the last week of his life, as he declined so quickly, his great humor came through. When I was called home last Tuesday, he asked me to get him the newspaper. He wanted to read the Milwaukee Metro section. He made the comment "I'm still alive." It took me a moment to realize that he was reading the death notices. Wednesday, all seven of us gathered around him with Mom and she asked him if he had any words of wisdom for us. He replied, "Take care of the crabgrass." I can't help but think that this was his way of saying be happy and keep laughing. Last Thursday, May 11 at 8:40 in the evening, Dad was granted a peaceful death. We are so thankful that along with Mom, the seven of us, as well as our spouses and Dad's beloved grandchildren could be with him during those last days and hours of his life. Often when, we would visit Dad and Mom, upon leaving - his typical farewell remark would be: "Now go straight home, I'm going to call you." Dad we know that you've gone straight home to heaven and you are now rejoicing with God and all the family members and friends who preceded you in death. God bless you Dad and thanks for the legacy you gave to us. --------------------- The Butterfly June, 2000 William Christian Conarchy was a good man who loved people; a humble man with a big, sensitive heart. His wonderful sense of humor was an ``echo of God´s life in us´´. At the heart of his life was his dear wife, Mary; their seven children and each of their families. Through good times and hard times their family bonds, held strong and deepened. Their home was a place f gathering for family, relatives and friends (some from grade & high school days). There was always room for one more around their dinning table. Bill was ever eager to do his part: the first to ``pick up the tab´´; quick to help others in need; perceptive in knowing someone had a hurting hears; his personal touch of humor put others at ease; in his retirement he drove the elderly & sick to medical appointments. He enjoyed the small, everyday events of life: knew a fine piece of meat and how to cook it; kept the bird-feeders filled; fixed things around the house; liked reading the daily paper; loved a good game of golf and sports on TV; treasured the visits of his 11 grandchildren; tended the lawn and garden; challenged many in a card game. Central to Bill and Mary´s life together was their Catholic faith. They often attended daily Mass which sustained them all through life but especially so when Bill was diagnosed with lung cancer. On that day in the hospital, when a new nurse cam on duty, she asked him what he preferred being called: ``William? Bill? Mr. Conarchy?´´ Bill answered: ``Sweet William´´. His calm and patient acceptance of his serious illness and his sustained sense of humor made it easier for everyone. He was cared for tenderly at home until God called him to his ``Father´s House´´ with his loving wife, children and their families at his bedside. His funeral was a great tribute to how much he was loved an how many lives were touched by his quiet goodness. People stood in a long line to pay their respects during the 3 hours of visitation prior to the Funeral Mass at the Parish Church in Wauwatosa, WI where Bill and Mary were married Dec. 30, 1950. They would have celebrated their 50th Anniversary this year. How fitting it was that Bill died during the joyous Easter season which proclaims our faith in the great mystery of Christ´s Resurrection and our own one day. Proud of his Irish ancestry, there must have been the ``lilt of Irish laughter´´ in heaven as he was re-united with his many relatives and friends who had gone before him. Bill showed us in so many ways how to live and how to die, always trusting in God´s merciful love. We pray that ``Sweet William´´ may now be safe in the Father´s eternal embrace, delighting in the everlasting joy of heaven. Baptismal sponsors William F. & Eileen Carmody.

He wanted to read the Milwaukee Metro section. He made the comment "I'm still alive." It took me a moment to realize that he was reading the death notices. Wednesday, all seven of us gathered around him with Mom and she asked him if he had any words of wisdom for us. He replied, "Take care of the crabgrass." I can't help but think that this was his way of saying be happy and keep laughing. Last Thursday, May 11 at 8:40 in the evening, Dad was granted a peaceful death. We are so thankful that along with Mom, the seven of us, as well as our spouses and Dad's beloved grandchildren could be with him during those last days and hours of his life. Often when, we would visit Dad and Mom, upon leaving - his typical farewell remark would be: "Now go straight home, I'm going to call you." Dad we know that you've gone straight home to heaven and you are now rejoicing with God and all the family members and friends who preceded you in death. God bless you Dad and thanks for the legacy you gave to us. --------------------- The Butterfly June, 2000 William Christian Conarchy was a good man who loved people; a humble man with a big, sensitive heart. His wonderful sense of humor was an ``echo of God´s life in us´´. At the heart of his life was his dear wife, Mary; their seven children and each of their families. Through good times and hard times their family bonds, held strong and deepened. Their home was a place f gathering for family, relatives and friends (some from grade & high school days). There was always room for one more around their dinning table. Bill was ever eager to do his part: the first to ``pick up the tab´´; quick to help others in need; perceptive in knowing someone had a hurting hears; his personal touch of humor put others at ease; in his retirement he drove the elderly & sick to medical appointments. He enjoyed the small, everyday events of life: knew a fine piece of meat and how to cook it; kept the bird-feeders filled; fixed things around the house; liked reading the daily paper; loved a good game of golf and sports on TV; treasured the visits of his 11 grandchildren; tended the lawn and garden; challenged many in a card game. Central to Bill and Mary´s life together was their Catholic faith. They often attended daily Mass which sustained them all through life but especially so when Bill was diagnosed with lung cancer. On that day in the hospital, when a new nurse cam on duty, she asked him what he preferred being called: ``William? Bill? Mr. Conarchy?´´ Bill answered: ``Sweet William´´. His calm and patient acceptance of his serious illness and his sustained sense of humor made it easier for everyone. He was cared for tenderly at home until God called him to his ``Father´s House´´ with his loving wife, children and their families at his bedside. His funeral was a great tribute to how much he was loved an how many lives were touched by his quiet goodness. People stood in a long line to pay their respects during the 3 hours of visitation prior to the Funeral Mass at the Parish Church in Wauwatosa, WI where Bill and Mary were married Dec. 30, 1950. They would have celebrated their 50th Anniversary this year. How fitting it was that Bill died during the joyous Easter season which proclaims our faith in the great mystery of Christ´s Resurrection and our own one day. Proud of his Irish ancestry, there must have been the ``lilt of Irish laughter´´ in heaven as he was re-united with his many relatives and friends who had gone before him. Bill showed us in so many ways how to live and how to die, always trusting in God´s merciful love. We pray that ``Sweet William´´ may now be safe in the Father´s eternal embrace, delighting in the everlasting joy of heaven. Baptismal sponsors William F. & Eileen Carmody.

How fitting this was because he showed us on a daily basis how he loved God. His faith and Christianity were central in his life. Bill was a good and faithful husband, father and friend. He provided for his wife and seven children with great patience. He made each one of us feel special. He Encouraged us to be our best. he never gave up on us - no matter what we did wrong. We knew that we were loved by him. Dad was a holy man. We never heard a vulgar word come from his mouth. "Oh, brother" was probably his gruffest response when he didn't agree with something that was said. He might raise his voice to us kids with questions such as "What are all these lights doing on around here?" or "Close that door - are we heating the outside?" There were times when the words "you dirty dog" might come up but these were almost exclusively reserved to hanging wallpaper. And speaking of his work as a handyman in our home... Dad was a man of many talents. He did plumbing repair, woodworking, painting and so many other fix-it-up projects. Looking back, I'm sure all these efforts were to save money but there was also a sense of pride that he had in a job well done. He came up with innovative, useful items. He combined a discarded door and the top of an old TV cabinet to make a double desk for our schoolwork, We had a very small kitchen. To provide seating for a growing family around the dinner table, he built unique benches that were fixed to the two walls and joined in the corner. The bench seat tops lifted up on hinges to reveal extra deep storage for items that Mom couldn't fit in the kitchen cupboards. Dad accepted the burdens of life quietly and without complaining. He was a man of courage. In the early 1970s, he lost his job from a manufacturing company that he had served for 21 years. Initially, he was out of work for over a year. With the slump in the economy and industry in general, he went through a series of jobs over about nine years. Those were tough times, but through it all, he accepted the situation with quiet fortitude. In experiencing his strength and determination, we kids could feel secure that somehow this would all work out. And it did. He finally got a job as a purchasing agent for Milwaukee County where he worked for ten years. He happily retired in 1995. In all these trials, he never lost his sense of humor. His quick wit is probably what we and many people will remember best about Dad. It wasn't that he told jokes or funny stories. Rather, it was the one-liners and rapid comebacks in conversation. He was gentle and playful in all of this. He never used humor at someone else's expense. Dad genuinely enjoyed people. He was a welcoming host for family gatherings, visits with friends and particularly delighted in having people join him for over 20 annual St. Patrick's Day parties at our home. He found great pleasure in bringing people together with a good party. When he had the time - this was especially in his retirement years, he liked to walk about the neighborhood, exchanging hellos and of course sharing a bit of his humor. Dad could always put a smile on someone's face. As his children grew up, left home and began families of their own, Dad was very much present to his grandchildren. There was the gentle teasing like "how about some sauerkraut on your peanut butter sandwich?" He took the time to just be with each grandchild. He also relished talking, listening, taking walks, teaching them to play cards and sharing his love of sports. Bill took great pride in the grandchildren and their activities and interests. They knew by his whole demeanor that they had his total acceptance and unconditional love. Dad was diagnosed with lung cancer just before Thanksgiving. Through the whole ordeal of hospitalization, Dad kept his good humor. Prior to a surgical procedure, one of the nurses asked him what he preferred to be called. He replied "Sweet William." And sweet is a very good way to describe his attitude. When he heard the news that there was no successful treatment for the form of cancer he had, he said "I don't want to be hanging on a 10 foot chain, I want 50 feet so I can dance at the end of it." God granted him that blessing. Dad came home with Mom and continued to keep his positive attitude and good humor. Whenever anybody asked him how he was, he always said, "I'm great." With the help of family, the support of Hospice and the prayers of many, many people - Dad was able to be at home, surrounded by the love of his wife, children and grandchildren. Even in the last week of his life, as he declined so quickly, his great humor came through. When I was called home last Tuesday, he asked me to get him the newspaper.

When she was five years old, she was hit in the head by a horseshoe pitched by her Uncle Clem. Warren and I became engaged on Christmas Eve 1944. I had been kidding Warren about my Christmas present. We ended up making a bet, one Tom Collins, for whoever won. Christmas eve Mother asked us to mail a late Christmas card at the downtown Milwaukee post office. I suspect she was in on the event. After mailing the card, Warren drove down to the lake front. We walked for a while in six inches of snow. When we stopped to look at the lake, Warren asked me to marry him and of course I said yes with all my heart. When we got back in the car, I said he owed me a Tom Collins. I just got a smile. Christmas morning when I was opening my presents, these was a small package addressed to Briny Marlin (Warren's pet name for me) in it was a lovely gold and amber bracelet. Guess who bought the Tom Collins. I like to kid my grandchildren that we had our first date on June 22nd and were married on June 23rd. Of course, I neglect to mention that it was two years later. Warren was an only child and even before we became engaged, he warned me that he would not settle for an only child. He thought twelve might be a nice number. When I was pregnant with our first child, Dicky, the doctor told me that because of a medical condition, I would probably never be able to carry a baby beyond four months. I was devastated but Warren comforted me with the fact we could always adopt children but only if we could adopt at least two. Thank God the doctor was wrong. Although after the fourth child, he claimed we were just proving the medical books wrong! With the help of God, we did our best ending up with fourteen children, 10 births (mostly a month premature) and four miscarriages (two of who were little boys). We definitely favored boys. Although, we were delighted when, after seven boys two girls, Mary Kay and Bridget, arrived followed by an eight boy, Tom. We had a happy life together. My only regret is that Warren didn't live as long as his parents. His mother was still alive when he died. We enjoyed only four years of retirement during which we lost Mary Kay and Tom. Warren really missed Tom as they became very close. Both enjoyed the internet and computers. Marian served as a Den Mother and Craft Chair for St Joseph's Cub Pack in Wakefield, MA for a number of years. She also was a Brownie and Girl Scout leader in Finneytown, OH and the Recruiting Chairman. She was recipient of the St. Ann's Medal, awarded to the outstanding Catholic Girl Scout Leader. Marian worked for Allis Chalmers for four years as a secretary. ----------------- Christ Hospital Serving Fall 1979 Thirty-three years of living with cystic fibrosis have made the Warren family experts on the subject. Four of their 10 children were born with the hereditary disease. Advancements in antibiotics and respiratory therapy have increased life expectancy for CF patients dramatically. Thirty-three years ago, the Warren's first-born lived nine months. Their third child, born 31 years ago, lived nine and a half years. In this story, you'll meet Mary Kay, 23, and Tom, who just turned 16. They are eighth and tenth in birth order. Didn't the Warrens hesitate to have more children after losing two to CF? "No," says Mrs. Warren. "They were such a joy, such delightful, happy children that even though we never get over missing them we look back and know they had wonderful lives. Mary Kay and Tom have done well in spite of it, and we have been able to raise a fairly normal family. There are a lot of things worse than CF." What is cystic fibrosis? "Abnormally thick bronchial secretions fill the lungs of CF patients, causing breathing difficulties, lung infections and eventual deterioration of the lungs," says Martin Brueggemann, M.D. Dr. Brueggemann and Anthony Salem, M.D., are co-chiefs of the Christ Hospital's section of pulmonary diseases. CF also is characterized by excessive loss of salt through sweat glands and digestive problems caused by lack of pancreatic enzymes. "Patients don't digest food well - particularly fats - and nutrition is a big problem." High caloric, high salt and low fat diets are prescribed. "Usually CF kids have big appetites but don't gain weight. Tom has a poor appetite," says his mother. He stands half an inch shy of five feet and weighs 57.5 pounds. The disease is passed through recessive genes, which means both parents must be carriers. Neither of the Warrens is aware of the disease in their family history, and there were no unexplained infant deaths that could be attributed to CF. Nevertheless, they both carry the recessive gene. Statistically, one-fourth of their children would have the disease, one-half would be carriers and one-fourth would not be affected. None of their seven grandchildren have CF. Mrs. Warren can recount the evolution of diagnostic procedures. The test used more than 30 years ago measured undigested fibers in the stool. Danny, their second CF baby, tested negative until he was two years old. "We were sure he had it, so the doctors treated him anyway," she remembers. Secretions were taken from the duodenal area, in diagnostic tests used on several of their younger children. "I knew Mary Kay and Tom had it about two days after they were born," says Mrs. Warren. Her knowledge was confirmed two weeks later by a simple test that measured the salt content of their sweat. What does living with CF mean to Mary Kay and Tom? Tom wins the pills-per-day race, 58-55. They each take a dozen enzyme pills before every meal to aid digestion. Daily doses of antibiotics and salt tablets are included in the total. "Our monthly drug bills run about $100 apiece when they're well and range as high as $600 when they have infections." Dr. Brueggemann believes they are the only CF patients in Cincinnati taking periodic courses of antibiotic therapy using a heparin lock as outpatients. "A fine needle with plastic tubing on the end is inserted into a vein and taped to the arm. Mary Kay and Tom inject the antibiotic into their veins through the tubing over a five-minute period every eight hours for 10 days," says Brueggemann. "It's a method first used in Cleveland, and it gives a high blood level of antibiotic and avoids prolonged hospitalizations." Respiratory therapy once or twice a day helps Tom and Mary Kay clear their lungs of secretions. They inhale a mist that contains a medication to dilate their bronchial tubes. Their mother completes the treatment with postural drainage and percussion (clapping the chest). If an infection develops, respiratory therapy is increased to four times a day. When Mrs. Warren started giving respiratory therapy 33 years ago, a hand-squeezed nebulizer was all that was available to produce a mist. "My husband, who is an engineer, connected it to a tire pump. Before many years, a compressor was developed for use at home." "I hate hospitals with a passion," says Mary Kay, who has had six hospital stays in the last two years. Tom, who has been hospitalized four times enjoys bantering with his nurses and therapists. Dr. Brueggemann says, "Until two years ago, neither one had been hospitalized." He believes Tom and Mary Kay have done so well because they received good pediatric care and good care by their family. When they've had a fever more than a week or are coughing blood, he admits them for what they call a lung "tune up." Intravenous antibiotics and intensified respiratory therapy generally last a week or 10 days. "Their lung function is around 30-40 percent of normal, and the amount of oxygen in their blood is marginal-about two-thirds of what it should be," says Dr. Brueggemann. "Despite the extent of their disease, Tom and Mary Kay have adapted very well." Their mother agrees. "They compensate for their physical handicap with other things. Tom has done very well getting into St. Xavier High School and has made us very proud of him. Mary Kay is going to business college. Both were active in Scouts when they were younger." Adults with CF have had problems finding jobs because of their persistent coughing. Brueggemann says, "The difference between cystic fibrosis and other chronic obstructive lung diseases is that they produce mucous all the time. With other diseases, patients cough when they're sick, but with CF it's when their cough subsides that they are in trouble." They limit their activities to whatever they can do without becoming too tired. Mary Kay gardens and does needle work, Tom builds models and works on jigsaw puzzles. When air pollution levels rise, they seek haven in their air conditioned bedrooms. Their disease does not cause pain unless there's infection, but it can be "a pain in the neck." Mrs. Warren can remember when there was no future for CF kids. Billy was eight when he saw a TV spot about cystic fibrosis. She wondered what his reaction would be to the message that life expectancy was four years. "When the other kids came home," she recalls, "he lay quietly on the floor. 'Don't talk to me; I'm a ghost." Survival rates for CF patients have improved considerably. Seventy-five percent are alive at the end of 18 years; about 50 percent are alive at age 26. What do Mary Kay and Tom want for their future? "I am going to college and not quit until I get a doctor's degree in mathematics," says Tom. "My goal is to discover the next perfect number." Mary Kay wants to follow her mother's example. "I am going to have a lot of children-I want dozens." All her children would be carriers of cystic fibrosis, but none would have the disease unless their father carried the recessive gene. Tom and Mary Kay know life will be a little tougher for them, than for most. But they also know it's a life worth living. ---------------------------- Marian Rita Weithofer January 25, 1920 - February 23, 2016 WEITHOFER, Marian Rita (nee Conarchy) Beloved wife of the late F.

Sending our loving thoughts and prayers. Your O’Brien Cousins -------------------------------- Eulogy written and presented by Jessica Marie Weithofer With the ending of one’s life, you naturally begin to think back, think about what made them “tick.” The three things that came to my mind about my grandmother are family, faith, and the luck of the Irish. It goes without saying, anyone who has ten children, values family. She didn’t just value family, family was her top priority. She balanced it all…her husband, sick children, healthy children, siblings….then grandchildren and great grandchildren. I will forever be amazed how she handled it all…and kept everyone straight. Grandma had the luck of the Irish with her. She was lucky to find the love of her life in my grandfather. She was lucky to be gifted with so many talents…cooking, sewing, painting, cross stitching, just to name a few. She was lucky to have a passion for and the opportunity to travel and see the world. Now, her life was not all rainbows and pots of gold…this is where her faith comes in. Despite the tragedy and heartache in her life, her faith never waivered. My grandmother has always had faith in God and the Catholic Church. I believe that is a huge part of her living to be 96. She didn’t question why, she accepted everything that came her way as part of God’s plan. But to be honest, we are the lucky ones. She touched all of us. She influenced all of us. She loved all of us. And we are all better people because of her. Baptismal sponsors Angela Lavery and William Phelan.

'Don't talk to me; I'm a ghost." Survival rates for CF patients have improved considerably. Seventy-five percent are alive at the end of 18 years; about 50 percent are alive at age 26. What do Mary Kay and Tom want for their future? "I am going to college and not quit until I get a doctor's degree in mathematics," says Tom. "My goal is to discover the next perfect number." Mary Kay wants to follow her mother's example. "I am going to have a lot of children-I want dozens." All her children would be carriers of cystic fibrosis, but none would have the disease unless their father carried the recessive gene. Tom and Mary Kay know life will be a little tougher for them, than for most. But they also know it's a life worth living. ---------------------------- Marian Rita Weithofer January 25, 1920 - February 23, 2016 WEITHOFER, Marian Rita (nee Conarchy) Beloved wife of the late F.

It goes without saying, anyone who has ten children, values family. She didn´t just value family, family was her top priority. She balanced it all…her husband, sick children, healthy children, siblings….then grandchildren and great grandchildren. I will forever be amazed how she handled it all…and kept everyone straight. Grandma had the luck of the Irish with her. She was lucky to find the love of her life in my grandfather. She was lucky to be gifted with so many talents…cooking, sewing, painting, cross stitching, just to name a few. She was lucky to have a passion for and the opportunity to travel and see the world. Now, her life was not all rainbows and pots of gold…this is where her faith comes in. Despite the tragedy and heartache in her life, her faith never waivered. My grandmother has always had faith in God and the Catholic Church. I believe that is a huge part of her living to be 96.

We ended up making a bet, one Tom Collins, for whoever won. Christmas eve Mother asked us to mail a late Christmas card at the downtown Milwaukee post office. I suspect she was in on the event. After mailing the card, Warren drove down to the lake front. We walked for a while in six inches of snow. When we stopped to look at the lake, Warren asked me to marry him and of course I said yes with all my heart. When we got back in the car, I said he owed me a Tom Collins. I just got a smile. Christmas morning when I was opening my presents, these was a small package addressed to Briny Marlin (Warren's pet name for me) in it was a lovely gold and amber bracelet. Guess who bought the Tom Collins. I like to kid my grandchildren that we had our first date on June 22nd and were married on June 23rd. Of course, I neglect to mention that it was two years later. Warren was an only child and even before we became engaged, he warned me that he would not settle for an only child. He thought twelve might be a nice number. When I was pregnant with our first child, Dicky, the doctor told me that because of a medical condition, I would probably never be able to carry a baby beyond four months. I was devastated but Warren comforted me with the fact we could always adopt children but only if we could adopt at least two. Thank God the doctor was wrong. Although after the fourth child, he claimed we were just proving the medical books wrong! With the help of God, we did our best ending up with fourteen children, 10 births (mostly a month premature) and four miscarriages (two of who were little boys). We definitely favored boys. Although, we were delighted when, after seven boys two girls, Mary Kay and Bridget, arrived followed by an eight boy, Tom. We had a happy life together. My only regret is that Warren didn't live as long as his parents. His mother was still alive when he died. We enjoyed only four years of retirement during which we lost Mary Kay and Tom.

Four of their 10 children were born with the hereditary disease. Advancements in antibiotics and respiratory therapy have increased life expectancy for CF patients dramatically. Thirty-three years ago, the Warren's first-born lived nine months. Their third child, born 31 years ago, lived nine and a half years. In this story, you'll meet Mary Kay, 23, and Tom, who just turned 16. They are eighth and tenth in birth order. Didn't the Warrens hesitate to have more children after losing two to CF? "No," says Mrs. Warren. "They were such a joy, such delightful, happy children that even though we never get over missing them we look back and know they had wonderful lives. Mary Kay and Tom have done well in spite of it, and we have been able to raise a fairly normal family. There are a lot of things worse than CF." What is cystic fibrosis? "Abnormally thick bronchial secretions fill the lungs of CF patients, causing breathing difficulties, lung infections and eventual deterioration of the lungs," says Martin Brueggemann, M.D. Dr. Brueggemann and Anthony Salem, M.D., are co-chiefs of the Christ Hospital's section of pulmonary diseases. CF also is characterized by excessive loss of salt through sweat glands and digestive problems caused by lack of pancreatic enzymes. "Patients don't digest food well - particularly fats - and nutrition is a big problem." High caloric, high salt and low fat diets are prescribed. "Usually CF kids have big appetites but don't gain weight. Tom has a poor appetite," says his mother. He stands half an inch shy of five feet and weighs 57.5 pounds. The disease is passed through recessive genes, which means both parents must be carriers. Neither of the Warrens is aware of the disease in their family history, and there were no unexplained infant deaths that could be attributed to CF. Nevertheless, they both carry the recessive gene. Statistically, one-fourth of their children would have the disease, one-half would be carriers and one-fourth would not be affected. None of their seven grandchildren have CF. Mrs. Warren can recount the evolution of diagnostic procedures. The test used more than 30 years ago measured undigested fibers in the stool. Danny, their second CF baby, tested negative until he was two years old. "We were sure he had it, so the doctors treated him anyway," she remembers. Secretions were taken from the duodenal area, in diagnostic tests used on several of their younger children. "I knew Mary Kay and Tom had it about two days after they were born," says Mrs. Warren. Her knowledge was confirmed two weeks later by a simple test that measured the salt content of their sweat. What does living with CF mean to Mary Kay and Tom? Tom wins the pills-per-day race, 58-55. They each take a dozen enzyme pills before every meal to aid digestion. Daily doses of antibiotics and salt tablets are included in the total. "Our monthly drug bills run about $100 apiece when they're well and range as high as $600 when they have infections." Dr. Brueggemann believes they are the only CF patients in Cincinnati taking periodic courses of antibiotic therapy using a heparin lock as outpatients. "A fine needle with plastic tubing on the end is inserted into a vein and taped to the arm. Mary Kay and Tom inject the antibiotic into their veins through the tubing over a five-minute period every eight hours for 10 days," says Brueggemann. "It's a method first used in Cleveland, and it gives a high blood level of antibiotic and avoids prolonged hospitalizations." Respiratory therapy once or twice a day helps Tom and Mary Kay clear their lungs of secretions. They inhale a mist that contains a medication to dilate their bronchial tubes. Their mother completes the treatment with postural drainage and percussion (clapping the chest). If an infection develops, respiratory therapy is increased to four times a day. When Mrs. Warren started giving respiratory therapy 33 years ago, a hand-squeezed nebulizer was all that was available to produce a mist. "My husband, who is an engineer, connected it to a tire pump. Before many years, a compressor was developed for use at home." "I hate hospitals with a passion," says Mary Kay, who has had six hospital stays in the last two years. Tom, who has been hospitalized four times enjoys bantering with his nurses and therapists. Dr. Brueggemann says, "Until two years ago, neither one had been hospitalized." He believes Tom and Mary Kay have done so well because they received good pediatric care and good care by their family. When they've had a fever more than a week or are coughing blood, he admits them for what they call a lung "tune up." Intravenous antibiotics and intensified respiratory therapy generally last a week or 10 days. "Their lung function is around 30-40 percent of normal, and the amount of oxygen in their blood is marginal-about two-thirds of what it should be," says Dr. Brueggemann. "Despite the extent of their disease, Tom and Mary Kay have adapted very well." Their mother agrees. "They compensate for their physical handicap with other things. Tom has done very well getting into St. Xavier High School and has made us very proud of him. Mary Kay is going to business college. Both were active in Scouts when they were younger." Adults with CF have had problems finding jobs because of their persistent coughing. Brueggemann says, "The difference between cystic fibrosis and other chronic obstructive lung diseases is that they produce mucous all the time. With other diseases, patients cough when they're sick, but with CF it's when their cough subsides that they are in trouble." They limit their activities to whatever they can do without becoming too tired. Mary Kay gardens and does needle work, Tom builds models and works on jigsaw puzzles. When air pollution levels rise, they seek haven in their air conditioned bedrooms. Their disease does not cause pain unless there's infection, but it can be "a pain in the neck."

Kyran traveled to Liverpool as the first stage in his trip. His mother took pity on him and sent funds to a priest to pay for his fare. She didn't want him to travel in steerage. She sent the money to the priest to buy the ticket because she knew that if she gave Kyran the money he would save it and travel in steerage anyway. He sailed from Liverpool England on April 24, 1913 on a vessel named Cedric. His port of entry was New York on May 3, 1913. When he arrived in the United States he stayed with his Uncle Pat Phelan. He may have first gone to the Clanahan's place in Belleville, Illinois. When he first arrived at the Phelan door, he was greeted by a woman in an apron.

He heard from guests especially Harry Clanahan at the hotel about the United States and decided to move there. When he told his father about his intentions to go to the United States, he was asked how his shoe leather was because his father didn't intend to pay his fare to America. Kyran traveled to Liverpool as the first stage in his trip. His mother took pity on him and sent funds to a priest to pay for his fare. She didn't want him to travel in steerage. She sent the money to the priest to buy the ticket because she knew that if she gave Kyran the money he would save it and travel in steerage anyway. He sailed from Liverpool England on April 24, 1913 on a vessel named Cedric. His port of entry was New York on May 3, 1913. When he arrived in the United States he stayed with his Uncle Pat Phelan. He may have first gone to the Clanahan's place in Belleville, Illinois. When he first arrived at the Phelan door, he was greeted by a woman in an apron. Kyran was used to the maids at the hotel and asked for the lady of the house. The woman was Aunt Agnes. He later moved to a boarding house run by Roselia (Callahan) Lavery where he met his future wife, Jane Mary Lavery. He became a US citizen on March 5, 1920 in the Superior Court of Cook County, Illinois. Certificate of Naturalization 1345049. Parents, tw	Conarchy, Kyran Patrick Joseph Aloysius (I8894)

257	COREY, Harold Daniel 91, of Indian Rocks Beach, passed away Sunday, March 4, 2018. Harold was born in Ashtabula, OH, in 1926. He was the last surviving sibling of 12 to the Corey family in Ohio. They believed in big families back then. Harold entered the U.S. Army during WWII in late 1944. He always claimed that was the best move of his life. The war ended and Harold was shipped back home from the Philippines in December 1946. With his prior knowledge of auto mechanics since about the age of nine, and his experience in the service, he secured his future. Harold voluntarily transplanted from Mentor, OH, to Largo, FL, in 1972. He brought along his mechanical ability and even an employee. Harold was the original founder and owner operator of Corey's Ohio Auto Service on West Bay Drive, Largo. He transferred ownership to Steve Boyle in 2008, who continues this operation today. However, Harold did not 'leave,' you could see him almost any given day coming in and out of the shop, greeting clients, and giving Steve 'suggestions.' He is survived by his loving and proud wife by his side for 36 years, Susan Nunamaker-Corey; daughter, Valerie Quinn of South Carolina, and her two children, Anne Mayberry of South Carolina and Paul; his daughter, Sybil Corey of Largo with her three boys, Desmon, Colton, and Anthony; and his granddaughter, Sarah-Jo McClelland of Colorado with her son, Michael. He has a niece, Judith Addison of Colorado. He predeceases his daughters, Peggy Corey, 2002 and Corie Anne Nunamaker, 2012. Harold was proud to be a 50-year plus lifetime member of American Legion Post 119 in Largo, FL. He was in Company A of the 155th Infantry Regiment. Memorial Services will be held at Hubbell Funeral Home, 499 Indian Rocks Road, Belleair Bluffs, FL, 11 am, Wednesday, March 14, 2018.

Lawrence was proud of his children's and grandchildren's accomplishments and enjoyed being surrounded by his great-grandchildren. He had many friends in Zephyrhills, Fla., where he spent his winters. He was a lifetime member of the Knights of Columbus and Veterans of Foreign Wars. He was also a member of the Emmet County Farm Bureau and Michigan Milk Producers Association. Lawrence 's family would like to thank the doctors, nurses and staff of Hospice of Little Traverse Bay who provided wonderful care during his final days.

282	Democrat and People's Journal DEATH OF MR. MICHAEL MEADE A host of friends, especially amongst the older generation in Louth and Meath and adjacent counties learned with regret of the death of Mr. Michael Meade, late of Castlebellingham, which took place at the residence of his daughter, Mrs. Ward, in Dublin, on Monday last. Mr. Meade was in an earlier day one of the most extensive and best known men in the Irish cattle trade. He had a very extensive business connection, especially with the districts around Manchester, Liverpool and Glasgow. An excellent judge of his business, and a man honest as the sun in all his dealings, he earned the esteem of all with whom he came in contact on both sides of the water. He fully deserved the success that attended his business. It was natural that one whose daily intercourse with the agricultural population should have actively sympathised. with their struggles for emancipation; and from away back in Land League times he took a keen and intelligent interest in Irish political movements. it was typical of the man-honest and loyal, and regardless of the currents of popular opinion-that he took his stand behind Parnell at the time oi the disastrous “split” in Irish politics, and never faltered from the path he chose. It was typical of him also that in a later "split" he stood as loyally behind Redmond and his-as it transpired-unpopular policy. Bluff and fearless and outspoken, he was neither to be cajoled nor driven from a course of action to which he committed himself. And those who knew him well realised that behind this there was a sound judgment, founded on a very intimate knowledge of political movements in Ireland during more than half a century. Mr. Meade was one of the early members of the Louth County Council and held that office until advancing years counselled his retirement. His sound business instincts were of very considerable service to the County Council and on the Grange-gorman Board of which he was for many years a member. His warm heart, his blunt and honest speech, his unfailing loyalty to his friends, won for him the respect and affection of his colleagues: and no man on the Council was more deservedly popular. Mr. Meade, who had reached the ripe age of 84 years enjoyed excellent health until a year or two ago. His death followed a brief illness, in which he enjoyed the consolations of his religion. Very many friends attended the internment at Kilsaran on Wednesday, the remains having been brought by road after Mass in Sandymount Church; and many were the expressions of regret and testimonies to the honest worth of the departed. The chief mourners were: Messrs. Thomas Meade (Newcastle-on-Tyne) and Vincent Meade (sons); Mrs. W. Russell, Sr. M. Benignus, Mrs. Ward, and Mrs. Smith (daughters); W. Russell, J. O‘H Ward, and J.

When she was young she traveled by bicycle and took music lessons for the piano and later taught piano. She liked to skate during the winter on the pond that was maintained at that time on the farm. She was the organist at the Laxey Church as long as it was functioning and often substituted at the Bloomfield Church. She believed in keeping good time and you would say she played with "authority". The writer remembers vividly her playing the fifth Nocturne, Listen to the Mocking Bird, and other selections from the Etude magazine. She apparently had rheumatic fever when she was young which damaged her heart valves. She had many happy years living in Madison, Wisconsin, - but while there had to go to the hospital quite often for treatment, getting rid of the fluid in her lungs because of her heart problem. She always enjoyed traveling, and especially enjoyed two trips to the western part of the United States with Eleanor and George. She also enjoyed two trips to Maryland and Washington, D.C. from Leroy Reese - JAMES LEROY REESE or Roy as he was called, lost his mother when his sister Mae was born.
