Daria L. Donnelly

To the Donnelly family,
My deepest sympathy to your family. I have not been in touch with any of you since high school at Our Lady of Mercy but my times with your family including a wonderful summer vacation at your home on Cape Cod are happy memories. My prayers are with you.

I just heard and am terribly saddened to hear of Daria’s passing. Unfortunately, over the last few years I slipped out of touch with her and was not aware of her illness. Daria was a special friend and my wonderful roommate at Wesleyan. She had a great smile, a generous spirit, a strong sense of integrity and a love for her family. She often shared stories of her siblings when we were at college so that many of us felt we knew and liked each one individually. I have been looking at the...

The Catholic Relief Services family extends it condolences to Daria's husband and children. Because of Daria's kind of help, at least some of the suffering of the poorest of the overseas poor has been alleviated. She will be missed.

I hardly knew Daria, yet she touched my life immensely. I was greatly saddened to hear of her passing. Your family is in my prayers.

Dear Tom,Marilyn and Family We are sorry to hear of your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Dear Steve, Uncle Tom, Aunt Marilyn and all who loved Daria,

I am so sorry for Daria's suffering and for your loss of her. Matthew and I are praying for her joy and for your consolation. Today, September 24, is Mercy Day, the celebration of the founding of the Sisters of Mercy, whom Daria knew so well at Carlow. Matthew's school, Waldron Mercy Academy in Merion, gathers all the children from kindergarten through 8th grade for Mass today in the Mercy Order's Motherhouse Chapel....

It is hard to use words to describe how my family and I feel. Having known the Donnelly family for such a long time, and Daria since she was little, it is hard to believe that she is gone. We will pray for her family, as I know she will be missed.

Dear Steve and Family,
I was so sad to receive the call that Daria had died. I have cared for many patients over the years and some touch your heart but Daria touched my soul. May you find some peace knowing that she isn't suffering anymore and that she was so loved.

Dear Donnellys and Weissburg,
I am greatly saddened to hear of Daria's passing. Words do not exist that can bring consolation at such a loss. But the memories and love derived by Daria being in your lives may serve as a place of grace and hope to sustain you in this grief. I'm so, so, so sorry.
