Sister of War Bride Chrissy Warr. "I grew up next door to the Breen's.
They were my second family and I loved Mrs. Breen dearly. Coincidentally, my grandfather
who was their neighbour, was also Scottish. I know they were great company for each other
and my grandmother and I used to just stop and listen to them converse. They were both just
as Scottish speaking when they died as when they came here," John Edgar.
