Our sympathies and prayers are with you all. Mary's grace, humility, and generosity flowed without reserve. If you were down, Mary was always there to pick you up. So many laughs as we double-dated with Bob and Donald and so many beautiful memories shared over the years. She was my friend and will be missed. May she be at peace, united with Bob, and know eternal joy in the arms of Christ. Lorraine (Macnamara) Howe and family.

Sending love and prayers from the Mellons of Hull. So many special memories of the Kelly family coming to Hull every summer, as well as the Harringtons, Tarpy's and Pearsons. The memories of protecting the turf and putting the chairs in a circle on Malta Street beach, make me smile! God Bless you all in saying good-by to a wonderful Mom and friend; may the angels surround you always with her light.
