We will miss seeing Eleanor at mass at Margaret Mary's - greeting the two of you at 'peace' was always a highlight for the kids. We are praying for you and Eleanor and hope to see you again soon at Margaret Mary's . God Bless. Michael and Kelly.

My father, Joseph P Dunne, was a 1st cousin of your mother and though they did not see one another often through the years I always remember how my Dad loved her and often spoke of his memories of their childhood growing up in Fall River. She came to his funeral in December 2004 in Tiverton and I remember her warmth, smile and gentleness. My thoughts and prayers to the whole family during this difficult time.

Spending a good part of my teenage years hanging out with Mark I will always remember your Mother's smiling face and upbeat personality whenever I visited the house on Gardner Street and no matter how much clowning around was going on between the kids. I'm sorry I did not hear the news in time to pay my respects in person. My thoughts go out to all of her family and friends, she will be missed by all that knew her.

To the Fredericksburg Erwin Family,

I just want you to know that you are all in my prayers. It is so difficult to loose a loved one when you are living at a distance and my thoughts are with you.

I met Mrs. Erwin long ago when she was visiting Montfort Academy with Denise. We talked about the Boston area and in the course of the conversation, I found out that one of her daughters had attended my high school, St Mary's in Brookline, and that she had graduated with my sister Janice, and her husband, Jerome.

It is such a small world and we are all in someway connected.

Be at peace and know that your Mom is in a better place.
