I am so sorry to hear about Mary's passing.. We were wondering where she was. We heard that she that she had move to another nursing home. Mary was in my wedding and the godmother of my daughter Peggy. We have so many fond memories going into Boston to the Boston Bruins gamestogether. She was so devoted to Lucy her sister. We feel so bad that we were not notified of her passing. We will go to the grave to pay our respects. We know she is in heaven now and very happy with her family. She will always be in our prayers. She will be remembered at the carmilite Masses at the North shore Mall for the whole month.
