Ms Reilly was my neighbor since I moved to Stearns St in 1986. We often chatted about the neighborhood. I just found out about her passing this week, 1/23/09. My own mother passed on 7/31/08. I will miss Mrs Reilly and our chats . I enjoyed her lively personality!

I am so sorry for the loss of your mother and grandmother. I have such fond memories of Dolores during our summers growing up -- from days spent at the beach to chatting on the steps of your cottage to school clothes shopping. She and my father teased each other and she and my mother looked like a "Mutt and Jeff" walking to the beach. Of course, she also made the best eggplant parmesan.
Dolores made all of us laugh.
My thoughts are with you, especially "her" Johnny and Dennis.

Dear John, Dennis and Families:

We are so sad to hear of Auntie's passing. She fought so long and so hard! We will cherish our memories of delicious roast beef dinners in Cambridge and summer outings to Nantasket.

Love Jackie & Alby
