Mary and Angus´s visits during the McIver Maine reunions were always so special. Always full of stories about her children and grandchildren, Mary continued to come in her senior years sharing smiles and memories. God bless Mary and all her family

To all in the family, East Lexington will not ever be the same without Mary. She was warm, loving, beautiful person and a dear friend of my Irish Mother Brigid Cloherty O´Connell of Sylvia St. The last time I saw Mary on Follen Rd she gave me a huge hug. We will all miss her. May Mary see Saint Brigid and Saint Patrick in the Lord´s home. Deepest sympathies to all...

So sorry for your loss. I remember your mom and dad coming to family reunion and your mom coming even after your dad passed away. I always admired her for that and always enjoyed visiting with her. She was a wonderful person. Our heartfelt sympathies to the family. (My dad was JIm McIver)

I am so very sorry to read that Mary has passed away. We used to see each other in town, at Dunkins usually, she always had a smile. I remember her so fondly, and her father, also. They are among those who made growing up there special.

We always looked forward to seeing your parents at the McIver family reunion. They were so proud of all of you and would catch us up on your lives. After your Dad passed, Mary would carry on this tradition. It was so special to visit with her. We offered a prayer at this year´s reunion for Mary. God bless your dear mother and all of you. Sincerely, Julie Conroy ( your Dad and my Grandmother Gladys were cousins)

So sorry to hear of your Mother's passing. She was a few years younger than my Mom, Pat Schlichte. It was so nice to see you at the 1969 Class Reunion. I have the picture of you, me, Denise DelVecchio and Carol Ann MacArthur on my refrigerator.
Our Mothers were incredible women for their time. We were so fortunate to have them as role models. My best to your husband.
