Catherine Blakely

The Blakely Family,

It is with sadness I read of the passing of your mother - she was one of those wonderful forces within the parish that we all remembered warmly.

God bless - Terry Hirsch on behalf of the Hirsch Family

“The seven gifts of the Holy Spirit are listed in the St. Jerome’s version of the bible, (Isaiah, 11.2) . They are wisdom, understanding, counsel, fortitude, knowledge, piety, and fear of the Lord. The truly wise person does not only know things of God but experiences and lives them. By acquiring wisdom through experience, the other gifts follow. “

Gina, your Mom was very wise, and thus the other virtues followed, and passed on to all of you. May you know the comfort of the Holy...

Gina and family, just heard the news and read your loving obituary of her. What a wonderful family she has and how proud she must be of you all. My thoughts are with you all.

To all the Blakely clan,
It was with sadness that I learned of the loss of your mother. She was a wonderful woman, and it was a real pleasure to "meet" her again when I got her address. It was almost like having my own mother to be my cheering section...hope you don't mind the appropriation! I can't help but think that Kay will be rather busy in her first years in heaven, talking to all her loved ones (including Dot Mulhern!)

Kevin and Katie join me in sending our condolences. ...

Gina and Family,
Thinking about all of you at this time. She was a great gal.

Your mother sounded like a remarkable person, we would like to have met her and had her in our lives.
