We send our deepest sympathy for the loss of a special Aunt. Aunt Mary was special to me; she went out of her way to see me when I was hospitalized. She was a thoughtful and saintly woman and we will miss her deeply. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. Wish we could be there with you.
Love always, Tom and Anne Cavanaugh

My thoughts are with all of you that knew and loved Mary. Mary was my first client with the Visiting Angels and I will never forget all the wonderful times I had taking care of her, Bella and the cats that she loved so dearly. May she rest in peace.
