Egans,
One of the Great Ladies of Mahtomedi - indeed! Growing up, I never saw such funny, smily, giggly and happy girls as the Egan women. (Sorry, guys, you were much older than me then, but maybe you had some of that too?) And, Molly, the few times I've seen you in recent years, despite your hardships, you radiate the same brightness you had as the littlest one back in the day. That inner light comes from one place - what a great Mom! Oh, if only more people could be as lucky as we, what a wonderful world this would be!

Pat, Mike, Tim and Families,
There are few people that automatically bring a smile to your face when you think of them, but your mom is one of those. My heart hurt when my dad told me your sad news. However, her beautiful picture made me smile again. That is exactly how I remember her and always will.
My thoughts are with you on this difficult day.

To all my wonderful Egan cousins, I love you all so very much! I have no words that can tell you how very sorry I am about my wonderful, beautiful loving and always smiling Godmother and Aunt. She will be so very missed by all and so very many people. She truly was an amazing woman. You were all so blessed to have her as your mother. What an inspirational woman! I know what a lucky woman I was to have her as my Aunt and Godmother. I will miss her so very much! Please know that the Rosenberger family have you and all your families in our thoughts and prayers. We all need to remember how truly blessed we were to have all the Settergren's (Harry, John, and Mary) in our lives. How fortunate we were!! Let them all rest in peace together with, of course your dad and their parents, finally all together again.

I love you all so very much and am so very sorry I'm not physically there but please remember that I'm there in spirit. I love and miss you all!

I have so many great memories of Mary and of all the Egan Family. I remember our families having a lot of fun together growing up. One thing that made your mom so special is that she was always interested in "the kids" and made time to chat with us. She had a way of making us feel special and important. I will remember your mom as a beautiful, kind, compassionate person. I will remember her smile. May your memories bring you comfort and peace. My love to each of you.

I was just talking with mom and dad about growing up at the lake. We really had some fun! times together didn't we? Your mom was so sweet and loving. She always had a huge smile on her face and a nice thing to say. Even with her health the way it was, she knew my name the last time I saw her and we had a wonderful conversation. I am thinking that was at Barney's funeral. Mom and Dad are so sad to see their old friends dying. How blessed you all are to have such cool parents! They were both bigger than life. Please know we are thinking about you all and all of us are telling stories about the days spent with your family. Love you all!
