Not sure what to say?

Miss you my friend. You have always been there for me - I remember it fondly. Thank you for teaching me the art of cuisine and supporting me during my tumultuous 1st marriage. You were genuinely loved and appreciated - you will never be forgotten.

There's so many things, running through my mind. I dont know where to start. My sister, and I were so close. Not a day goes by, with out my heart feeling that tug. I miss her so much. She always had the means, to have you think, of the larger picture's, in life. An outstanding chef, mom, sister, and more important, person. Her presence will always be felt for all that knew,and loved her! I miss you, but know, that you're now at peace. May God bless you're family. May they continue, there...

To the DeLord and OShay Families,
Words can not express the sadness I am feeling to hear that my high school friend has left our physical world. She was a truly amazing and exceptional person and leaves behind many great memories for us all and a pair of very big shoes that we can only hope we will half fill in our lifetime. Sending much love, thoughts and prayers at this very difficult time.

Mary and I worked together back in the mid 90's in the resturant business and fell short of keeping in touch with each other after leaving. Recently reconnecting thanks to facebook and devasted to hear the news I could only emagine what she was going through as I recently lost someone to the same thing, but to know she is no longer experiencing anymore pain, may the family she left so many wonderful memories for find comfort in your hearts knowing she is in a much better place now. I am glad...

She was an amazing Wife, Mother, friend, and Cook. She could always bring a smile to everyone! So sorry she had to suffer, but I'm sure she is in the arms of our...

Our Heartfelt sympathy to the O'Shea & DeLord Families. Mary was definatley "one of a kind". We had many long nights (into the wee morning) hours spent at the O'Shea mansion, and to put it into Mary's exact words "If you leave here hungry it is your own fault" What an amazing cook and person she was. Mary we were blessed to have your friendship, you have truly received your wings and heaven has received their newest "ANGEL". You will be in our hearts forever.

Mary was the mother of one of my best friends in high school. I spent countless hours in the O'Shea house when I was younger (much more than they probably preferred!). However, Mary was always such a kind and wonderful woman towards me and rob's friends. She had some serious talent in the kitchen and always made sure we were well fed. Her sense of humor and warm energy really made her house a place like no other for both it's residents and it's guests. All of my prayers go out to the O'Shea...

With Sincere Sympathies.
