Den, and the entire Sexton clan,

Our deepest sympathies to you all during this time of loss.

Mary was one of the nicest people I have ever met. I will always remember how kind she was to all of us growing up in Westwood.

We wish you nothing but happy thoughts and memories of Mary's wonderful life.

Dear Joe, Dennis and Joe,
We were saddened to hear of the death of Maizie. She was a wonderful, kind and loving wife and mother. We especially admired her loving devotion for our Aunt Nellie, her mother.
