Danny, Carla, and Marni,

My deepest condolences go out to each of you. Your parents were wonderful, kind, fun people. Growing up on Mead Street always brings back special memories especially when I think of people like May and Carlo. I remember the fun and laughter. Your mother had a zest for life which made being around her pure fun. Whether it was on the Main St. bus or chatting around town, I always knew she would make me laugh. Your father also had such a wonderful, gentle way. He was a real gentleman. May your memories of such extraordinary parents bring you comfort in the days ahead.

Noonan & Ryan Family:
Maryanne was a vivacious woman who brought laughter and excitement to Main Street and beyond.

As I walk Main Street now there is a silence and a happy thought as I pass your home. Your parents always had a good word to say as well as a funny story to carry away.

Maryann had a flair and a zest for life, she made riding the Main Street bus very entertaining.

May the comfort of friends and the happy memories help you through this difficult time.

Your parents made an impact on so many lives - they will be missed.

Carlos and Maryanne were in interesting pair here on earth and now they are pair in heaven too.
When I called the house to ask for Marnie and said it was "Maureen" calling Carlo would always say, "Wedgie"? I never just said Wedgie because I loved knowing he would respond that way. He was always to himself but loved cooking for us. Maryanne on the other hand, liked to harass us. She would always tease about how on the first day of grammar school each year I would always be sure to show her my new shoes. I guess even as a little kid I knew Maryanne had a fondness for clothes and accessories! I only had to comment once that I liked her Irish claddagh flutes and she got them for me as a bridal present. Carlo and Maryanne were fixtures in our group of friends' lives growing up. If I was not sleeping at home my parents knew I was most likely on the ground floor of 362 Maine Street. I have enough memories to last forever! Even when we know it is for the best that the people we love pass onto heaven, it is no easier to say goodbye.......

Ryan and Noonan Family,
I want to send my deepest sympathy from our family to yours. Maryanne is my God Mother and over the years she has always been wonderful to me. When I was younger not a Christmas would go by that she would not only present me with a beautiful wrapped Christmas but she always remember my for twin sister, Cheryl as well. It felt like Santa came to our house twice. The gifts would be beautiful matching dresses that we treasured all year long. This is only one of the many examples of Maryanne's love to our family. Maryanne was loved by so many and I will truly miss her so very much. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. Please know Maryanne has left a lasting and loving impression on many including myself. If I can do anything to help, please do not hesitate to let me know. May God Bless you all. Love your cousins,
Colleen (Michaels) and John Walsh, Also, we send loving thoughts and prayers from the Michaels Family (Claire and Ken), Wareham, MA.

Danny, Carla & Marnie,

I am deeply sorry for the loss of your parents. Your Mother had such a presence! She could fill a room with laughter and fun. I don't know where she got her energy, and I loved running into her around town. Your Mother and Father are together again with no pain or sickness but their love remains with you, in the faces of your children and each other. You three are a testament to their life and love! May your memories comfort you through this difficult time.
