Mrs. Flaherty's smile- always so warm, welcoming and contagious. When she ran the polls at Fausey, she made every election day a little more calming and reassuring. The Town has lost an icon and we are forever grateful for all her contributions and legacy. To Mary, Eileen, Jack, Bill, Joe and Tom, my heartfelt prayers and sympathy.

To the Flaherty Family, I am so very sorry for the loss of your Mom. I know you have many wonderful memories over the years. Your Mom was a joy to meet at a game or in town. May she rest in peace.

Our thoughts and prayers are with dear Mary and her loving family today. Her warm welcome and beaming smile made us (her friends from the Dingle Peninsula) feel so special during our annual visits to Westside and The Big E. She always visited us on West Springfield Day, gave us great encouragement, and always had time for a lovely chat. We will miss her charm, kindness, and fáilte.

Mary was the nicest lady, always had a smile. Enjoyed talking to her at church on Saturday. Will be missed by many. Our sympathies to her family.

Dear Ann, you probably don't remember me, but I grew up at 119 Revere St and both you and your sister lived up the street. Both my sister and often talk about remembering both of you. When I saw your sister'e obituary I felt sad as you were both so good to me. Thank you for your kindness. Sincerely, Maureen Schlichting (Madden )

Bill, I am sorry to read of your Mother's passing. I met Mary when we both taught CCD many years ago. Always friendly, always a beautiful smile. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. John Somers

We send our condolences to the Flaherty family. We shared a cousin, Sr Judith, with Mary. Quite a family legacy she has been blessed with.

May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief. So very sorry to hear of Mary's passing. She was a very active and lovely woman. She will be missed by many. May she rest in peace.
