I was so very sorry to hear about your mother. She was truly a great lady. Although I knew her my whole life, the past few years we became great friends while caring for close family at the Ellis. She always had a smile and was great conversation. She was so devoted to her family. She will be missed and I will keep her in my prayers.

To the Connolly family: My condolences to you on the death of your mother. Despite my absence from Norwood for many years, I recall your mother's presence at so many events involving St Catherine's church and school, and her support of so many of our youth activities. She is a great role model for us. Thanks to God for her life and presence among us.
