Kathi, I'm so terribly sorry about your loss. Losing a parent is such a difficult and painful thing. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Your kindness and thoughtfulness to me when my Dad passed away is something that I will always remember with fondness and graditude; I only wish that I'd been able to be there for you, but I'm stuck in the house with pneumonia. One thing that I can tell you from my own experience is that they never truley leave us; they are alive in our hearts and memories and are so even more as our pain subsides. Take this time to listen to all the stories and to remember all the love.
With much fondness,
Carla

My deepest sympathies to all of Hennie's beloved children. She was a wonderful lady and although I have not seen her in some time, I remember her fondly. We both had RA and commiserated about that when we would meet.

May she rest in peace.

Kathy, Jimmy, Kevin, Gary & Julie, and all of our family.
My thoughts and Prayers & My Love are with all of you at this very sad time in your lives.
I will miss Aunt Hennie so much. Her infectious smile, her continued words of encouragement to me and everyone she met, no matter how she was feeling, she would always make it about you, and made you feel that you were important and special. I will miss our talks and our special moments. Our trip to Castle Island w/ Mom in the Van. What a special day that was !!! Her courage and spunk, is something I will always treasure,and admire. The smile on her face every time she looked at you, only made us smile right back. She was a fantastic woman, and a very special Aunt. Knowing she is at peace and out of pain and with Uncle Fran is a comfort. I will miss her terribly, and I will meet her again someday, and have a little tea party. She will leave such a void in my life as well as many others. I will Love you and miss you forever Aunt Hennie, I will treasure her memory and hold her & my pillow she gave me, dear to my heart Always. God Bless !! With Love Maureen

It has been some time since I saw "Aunt Hennie" but she is someone I will never forget. Hennie had the kindest eyes and always a kind word as well. My deepest condolences to all of the Kelly family during this time. God Bless.

To the Kelly family and Maureen Dunn,
My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. Henny was very special to me and I am glad that I had the opportunity to see her over the years as I visited Boston.
I remember the great St.Patrick's day celebrations at the Kelly home with the family singing and playing the music and all of the wonderful joyful noise of the guests. And in more recent years the visit to Castle Island with Henny and Maureen. How Henny loved to be out and about!
But most of all I will remember Henny for the joy that she gave to those around her even amidst her pain and suffering for so many years.
May Our Lord and Our Lady comfort all of you.
Love and prayers,
Kathleen O'Connor
