My condolences to all of you, Theresa, Diane, Bobby, AC, Henry & Aggie. I have many fond memories of our childhood days. I know that Mary was very special and will be greatly missed.

To Mary's family and especially my cousins Theresa, Diane, Henry and Aggie, and A.C. My condolences to all of you. I am Therese Conlin Clarke daughter of Henry and Alice Conlin. My father and your grandfather Matthew were brothers. I miss you all and would like to know how to get in touch with you. I remember that Mary was born on February 29 and when we were young I thought she was cheated by having a birthday only every four years. There has never been a Feb. 28 or 29 that I didn't think about Mary.

These moments are the times when families should realize that life's shortness does not need to be taken for granted. Every hour that goes by every breath that we take can be shared with that one family member just to say hello. These days are not everlasting but a memory is. It is time to let the past be the past and let the future become the present. God bless her shining soul...
