My deepest condolences to your family. I know Maeve through my son Henry's time at CNS. Though I did not have the pleasure of meeting this charming boy, I feel the all the love having read the beautiful obituary. As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you always feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.

We unfortunately never had the luck to meet this beloved young man, but reading about him in my Boston Globe this morning, made me do my job as a special education teacher a bit better today, and hug my two "special" children a bit tighter tonight. There is an angel on our mantle. Tonight we named him Declan. He will be watching over us all, with a brilliant smile. Condolences to the dear O'Connell family. Love, Patricia, Liam and Aidan Moore

Our beautiful little pirate man, that smile and your laugh and those expressive eyes, will be in my mind forever. I only knew you for 4 months that to me was a life time. My days were always that much better because of you. I look at life entirely different because of you. RIP my little man. My heart hurts so much. Love you, Rosemary
