Her most cherished memories were of her time living on her farm in Louisiana, where she loved to plant herself with stillness among our herd of cattle until they came to accept her as the gentle human that she was, allowing her to become part of their “herd”. Her love and her values were a profound influence on her two sons, Chuck and Steve Hennigan. In her later life, she cared for those who were home bound. She was loved by all who knew her.
