Foley, Habeeb family, I am so sorry to hear about Marilyn. I don't know if this entry will be published since it is so late. I have just found out. I was making my holiday call to "shoot the breeze" and am now devestated by the news. We-Freddie, Marilyn, my brother Michael and myself use to have such fun during the holidays at Nana Cassie's house in Dorchester. Marilyn was always so full of life, she was a "pistol", we had great laughs over the last few years remembering our childhood. May you rest in peace, I'm sure Aunt Pat is looking after you now. Love Ellen

Mal was the best.
I remember Mal very well. Mal was my Mom's best friend and a big part of my life when I was young, growing up in Everett. Her voice was unforgettable, she used it many times to make me smile, and I will always remember how she touched my Mother's life and my own. I am extremely sorry for your loss and my prayers are with the whole family.

Dear Paul, Jolene, and Kevin,

Doug and I met Mal (and Paul) just a few short years ago through the Everett girls. What a lasting impression Mal made on both of us - so full of laughter, so full of life, so loud during the football games at Marianne and Kevin's house! You couldn't help but love her and her enthusiasm for life. She will be sorely missed.

Our condolences to all of you during this difficult time and may happy memories of her help ease your pain in the hard days to come.

Love, Sully and Doug

My Malzi,
We go back a long way since high school. We always knew when you were around, we could hear you from down the street. It was our good fortune to re-connect with you after our class re-unions. Our trips and get togethers were so much fun and always a treat. I will remember every aspect of you and your life, the laughing till we cryed. I know you have already told St. Peter what your demands are.
Rest in peace my friend. I will never forget you. Love Joanne

Joleen, Paul, Kevin and Frederick,

It is with profound sadness that I write this entry. We first met Mal when Melissa played softball with Joleen. (Mal was yelling at Joleen to steal a base!). Her sense of humor, contageous smile, and commitment to family and friends became immediately apparent and will never be forgotten.

Please accept our sincere, heartfelt condolences, in loving memory of a truly wonderful person.
