I've been there. Beautiful place even today. Probably more beautiful back then. 8 kids in 10 years... wow. And no twins?

Just Irish twins lol, they actually left the Catholic Church because 8 children later, she wanted to go on birth control and they said nope

And it is still beautiful, my family still frequents that exact resort quite often, weddings etc. all 8 aunts and uncles included

“They said no” well f@&k that, the church isn’t funding or feeding the kids, it’s none of their business.

She was a most beautiful woman.
