“In one of the stars I shall be living. In one of them I shall be laughing. And so it will be as if all the stars were laughing when you look at the sky at night.”
~ Antoine de Saint-Exupery
To Mike O'Neill and family: There is sweetness in the laughter of all the stars and in the memories of those you love. My deepest sympathies.

I would meet Mary on the NJ Transit Newark train at times-- that is- when I was lucky. She always gave me good advice. For instance--as a grandmother, do you want to get close to your grandchildren, she told me to rent a house down the shore for a few weeks in the summer. It worked. She also laminated a copy of her famous Irish Soda Bread recipe for me printed in green. She was an absolute "pleasure to sit next to" I'm sure she doesn't even know my name but I am praying for her and her family because they will miss her tremendously. Sincerely, Carol Graessle

I remember Mary from Prudental in Holmdel in the late '90's early '00's. I was going through a difficult time in my life and Mary was always there with a sympathetic ear and a lot of wisdom. A compassionate person, she certainly was in the right profession. I will always think of her fondly.
