Dear Mr. McDonough, Barry, and your entire family, I am truly sorry to hear about the passing of Mrs. McDonough. I enjoyed every interaction we had (most of which were sitting around the kitchen table), and always felt that Mary was a special person who was "good to the core". Please accept my condolances. While her loving bond with Kevin has never faded, and I feel some comfort knowing they have been reunited in heaven. I will say prayers for all. Sincerely, Bill McDaid (Jr). (Brooklyn, NY)

Dear McDonough family,
I'm deeply saddened to learn that Mrs. McDonough has passed. I can picture her smiling now-I enjoyed her company whenever I visited the house! She was always friendly, gracious and laughing... luckily, her warmth and wonderful sense of humor lives in all of us. She and all of you are in my prayers.
God, I miss her already.
Love,
