I was so sorry to hear of Mary's passing. I just read it in the Peabody-Lynnfield paper yesterday, two weeks later. I have very fond memories of Mary at Jacobs Street in Peabody, my parents home, Frank & Catherine Shea. She was alot of fun. I also remember our clam digging days in Onset. She was a wonderful person, sure to be missed. Your niece, Kathleen (Sis) Shea Giordano.
