My mother, Hannah, and Germaine were sisters. Ma often said how close she and Germaine were. But that is not unusual because the "McDonald girls" were very close. The guys were as well but the girls really stuck together. For instance, back in the day when they were all hale and hearty, they would congregate at someone's house ( usually Annie's I believe) and have a Sunday night get together especially if it was someone's birthday or Christmas. I've seen some pictures and you can tell they really enjoyed these little ( not really little because there were 10 girls, of course those living far away were absent) gatherings. Brother Tommy and his Mrs would also show up occasionally. Germaine with her sparkling eyes and beautiful complexion and all her sisters and brothers shared a genuine love and caring for one another.
Rest in peace, Germaine. This part of your journey has ended.
