I didn't know your mother - but I think it's quite possible that she and my mother were twins separated at birth - 6 years apart. I love this tribute you have given your mother, an honor I can only hope my sons give me one day. It made me smile and remember all the crazy things about my mom - we all held our breath when we opened Christmas gifts from her as she grew older - never knowing what might be inside. Yes, we begged her not to cook when we went to Florida to visit her. And yes - I would love to buy her big speedster Infinity. Seriously. Call 504 -376-7559. What a grand send off and celebration of a life. Sincerely, Mary Morales

I'm sure wherever Mama is; she will be entertaining the table. She was full of wit and wisdom, kindness and generosity. We will all miss her.

Loretto, Dev, Patrick, and Michael, I am so sorry for your loss. Your mom was so great and I remember her well from when Loretto and I hung out in high school (she always reminded of me of my mom, a little kooky but so loveable and approachable). I feel your loss and I know it will be hard but, as I reminded Loretto, she is always there with you. If you listen, you will be able to hear her voice. Wish I could be there to offer hugs but I'm in Missouri and I was just down to N.O. a few weeks ago (since mom and dad died, I'm sorta broke). But my thoughts are with you all. Love, Mary Craighead

So Sorry For all of our loss. I got to see Ms. O'Reilly recently as I needed to fix her Alarm. She was not doing well and I did everything I could to cheer her up. Our long standing joke was when were we going dancing. This beautiful Lady and I were good friends. I, as anyone that knew her, will miss her. RIP!!!!!

Mrs. O'Reilly's simple walk with Jesus, sweet humor, and vivacious personality always blessed all of those who knew her. Even though she and her brightness are not with us in body, all of her friends and family members will remember her and really miss her, her wisdom, her generous hospitality, her great humor, and her many kindnesses, but rejoice because she is now in Glory. God and His angels will now enjoy her cheerful company, and one day we will see her again! Hallelujah!!
Libba's and my prayers are with you and for your grief.
Love, Shalom, and God bless,
Chaplain Hy and Libba McEnery
