Margaret Mary took me to school on my first day in Kilgarvan Kerry Ireland in 1954. When she went to join her mother in New York it left a huge void. We all looked forward to her return trips and she brought so much joy and excitement everywhere she went.
We will all miss her very much. To Aunt Betty ,Luke, Muara and Collette our sincerest sympathy.
Esther and John O Sullivan

Rest in peace.

From the Galvin side out here in San Francisco, I am still in shock as I have not only lost my 1st cousin but the glue that virtually kept me connected to my mother's Irish heritage. Margaret Mary on a moment's notice could clarify any family lineage question plus some. I was truly blessed to have traveled back to Brooklyn to see her in 1994 to reunite as adults since not seeing her since I was four years old.

October 24, 2014

Sorry for your loss. May the comfort that God offers help you at this difficult time.
