Mary E. Collins

I just found out about Mary passing.
I grew up on Newport St. across the street from the Carney's. My Grandmother lived on the first floor, the Carney's on the third. I left Dorchester to join the Marines at the age of seventeen (1958) but all the Newport St. memories are still with me.To Mary's family May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.

Mr. Collins, Cathy and Maryellen,
I think of Mrs. Collins with fond memories from my childhood. She always had a smile and a funny story to tell. She was alway "Mrs. Cunningham" to me. (And just to set the record straight I was not responsible for Cathy getting in trouble when we were kids. It was usually CATHY'S idea and I just went along with it! ) When I got married Mrs. Collins gave me a beautiful bible which I now use often and treasure. I always admired the great love that was so...

Dear Donny, Cathy and Mary Ellen,

We are so saddened by Mary's passing and your loss. I always picture Mary at family functions being bubbly, talking and laughing. She was always so interested in what was happening in your life. I'm sure she is now enjoying being with all the family angels who have gone before her. Keep her in your thoughts and her memory alive. With sympathy, Earl, Peggy (Kane) and Megan Collins, Aurora, Colorado

Dear Uncle Don, Cathy and Mary Ellen,

My heart goes out to you at this very sad time. I have so many happy childhood memories of spending time with my cousins and family members in Boston, and Aunt Mary will always have a special place in my heart. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. God bless you,

Love, Cheryl and family (Cary, Hayley, Olivia and Nate)

We are so saddened to hear of Mary's passing. It is so heartbreaking. We have many fond memories of her. She was a very thoughtful person. We have many years of memories of her.

MaryEllen and family - You are in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. I have such nice memories of all the times Mrs. Collins opened her home to us rowdy kids with never a complaint. She was a wonderful woman who leaves a beautiful legacy to her girls and grandchildren.

Dear Don, Kathy and Mary Ellen,

Mary has been carried straight to God's arms. She is no longer in pain. We will all miss her.

Our prayers are with the family.

Uncle Donnie, Mary Ellen and Cathy,
We are praying for you and for Aunt Mary.
With Affection,

Dear Mary,
They say its a beautiful journey
From the old world to the new
Some day we will take that journey
To the staircase that leads to you
And when we reach that garden
Where all are free from pain
We'll put our arms around each other
And never part again.
Sadly missed and always lovingly remembered,
Jack, Dea and family.
