hello everyone- I was just made aware of this site and I think it is wonderful. Thank you all for your kind words. This is Marys daughter Mary Theresa (as I'm known in my family) writing.My mother will be missed but I find comfort in knowing she is at peace in her new life! I know there is another angel looking over me! My mom has taught me many things in my life that she probably doesn't know of. One is the love of good friends and family. Another is the love of food (especially a good sauce) and to have a good time! She was a strong woman- in body and mind and I hope I have her strength when I need it! You will be missed mom BUT NOT FORGOTTEN Love Mary T

Pat & Family,
I just learned that your Mom passed away and I wanted you to know I am so sorry. I remember the Hinkley Street days fondly and how important your mom was to me. Please know how sorry I am for your loss. It is never easy.

Hi Mary,

It's been so very long for you. Not an easy road I know. You can rest now while you join your husband. I have many good memories of you. You and John loved to tease me about my wild hair (back in high school of course). Well, John did most of the teasing. He always wondered if I had even combed it. Anyway, Kim said it best about the "no gum chewing in the house" and many thanks for giving me a great friend in your daughter Mary. You always made me laugh. I know where Mary got her wit. You will be truly missed. However, I'm so happy you're at peace now. I want to hear from you. I'll be watching for a sign. I'll love you forever. XOXO Pam DiPhillipo

Dear Doyle Family,
I am so sorry for the loss of your mother. I met her about the same time Mary and Pete met each other, a wonderful exuberant woman who welcomed Pete and myself right into the Doyle family. I know its been a long haul and I'm so happy she is at peace.
I will see you later today.
Ginny
