    Mrs. Moylan “Gert” was exceptional and a great influence on me as a young person growing up with her family. I spent many days in her company then, while she raised many kids and I was a neighborhood scamp. I was always welcome at that busy table of hers and won’t ever forget her or my first taste of sweet hot tea she introduced to me. Love to all the family.
