I remember the day that we met. We lived across the Street from them on Byron, at the corner of Byron and Menard Street. Jim and Ciss were as nice as you could ever imagine. They fit in to the neighborhood so well….strong Catholics, proud parents, hard workers, friendly as all get out and friends from the minute that you met them. Ciss was especially close to Sister Francis Ryan, our sister, and she spoke up with her in every situation we were ever concerned with. Always right I might add.
She was wonderful and a part of all of the Ryans’ lives. Bless her soul.
Tim, Thank you for the kind comments on our mom, she was indeed everyone’s best friend.
Dan
