Sending all of you sympathy during this difficult time. I am very glad to have known Mrs. Sullivan. She was a very kind neighbor and friend to our family -- the house was always open when we needed anything.

I was an activities person where Mary was. She always had a smile & was so full of love & life. I loved seeing her great grandchildren come in "T" & Dillon to visit how good they always were. I am happy I got to know Mary & her wonderful caring family. I will miss her very much!
Love, Nikki McManus from Charlwell

Dear Bud, Tim, Mary Pat, Ann Marie, and Ed.

You were the best neighbors! Mary used to say "don't worry, we're watching your house" and she was. Bud and Mary were always there for Doug, Michelle, Rob and Nicole and me and we will never forget. The only thing Mary wouldn't do for us is give up her Bingo on Sunday nights and come to our Christmas party but we cut her a little slack!!!

Love, Nancy Goodnow
