Millie and family, I was saddened to hear of your loss. I tried to come up with the right words to express my sympathies and decided there really never is the right words, just thoughts and prayer and I wanted you all to know that you have been in my thoughts and prayers. growing up and spending time with your family has given me very fond memories that I will always remember, Much time has passed since I had last seen "Aunt Mary" but I remember her warmth and how she welcomed our family like we were her own. Millie, you and your family will always have a warm place in my heart.

Dear Ruth Ann & Millie;
I can't express in words to the both of you how sadly Mary will be missed. It was a pleasure to have known her. She was so much fun to be around. I treasure the NH weekend with the three of you. As well as many other happy occasions. We always had alot of laughs. The three of you always made me feel so much part of your family. Ruth Ann & Millie, thank you both for sharing your wonderful
sister with me.

Aunt Mary,
It was always easy to tell how much you loved us all. It was in the way that you treated us with the warmth of open arms and an open house. We are all blessed to have had you in our lives.
We Love You.

Dear Ruth Ann and Milred, I was so sorry when my brother Francis told me about Mary's passing. I have many wonderful memories of all the Kane cousins (and the Cobbs, Furey's, Riley's), having a grand time at the family get-togethers in the Old Harbor. Where did all those years go? I remember Mary always had a warm smile on her face. My sincerest condolences to her family also. Rita Kane Morgan (one of the other twins)

Dear Mary, You were a kind and caring person who I am sure will be sadly missed. Whenever I saw you, you always had such kind words to say to me especially about my boys. That meant a lot to me. My thoughts and prayers are there with your dear family. My heart goes out to them all. Love, Janice (Johnson) Nelson

Aunt Mary, thank you for letting me sleepover and raise heck with your son, daughters and nephews. You always let us be who we were, rambunctious youngsters. Thank you for asking me how my dad, my mom, brothers and wife are doing at every fun event and cookout. It is always nice to know that other humans are caring and thinking about you and yours.

I grew up knowing Mary as "Aunt Mary" and that is how I thought of her. It was always a pleasure to see her when she was visiting the Simpsons'. She was a wonderful, kind and loving person and I know she will be missed. My thoughts and prayers are with the Kelly, Simpson and Sullivan Family's.
