December 11 is the birthday of Margaret Ann Sullivan Lewis, daughter of Bob and Darlene; sister of John, Jim, Bobby, Paul, Tim, Mike, Mary, Ella and Peter; wife of Paul; mom of Ella, Paul Jr., Robert, William and Timothy; auntie, cousin and friend to scores others.
Margaret is refreshingly kind and honest--I've always left a conversation with her feeling happy and enlightened. She has as many hilarious stories of childhood as the rest of her siblings and takes parenting her brood in impressive stride--Margaret offers no drama, holds high expectations, requires everyone to pitch in and sprinkles it all with great humor.
She is athletic (a natural riding the waves in So. Cal. last summer) and hardworking, taking over the kitchen of a local establishment in Phoenix and turning the place around! At mass one day many years ago, Uncle Bob spied the young Paul Lewis. He elbowed Margaret and said something to the effect of, "Now there's a man for you." We're all glad she had the wisdom to listen to her dad!God bless us and save us and keep us from harm.
Love,
Patty
