Mary A. O'Connor

So many memories of our lives together on Holloway Place in Morris Plains in those years of raising children and seeing that beautiful Irish smile every day. Patty and I were blessed to know the O’Connor’s and share our lives with them. Mary, Rich, and my Patty are continuing their time together, forever in Paradise.

Mary, my very best crossword buddy. I will miss our weekly crossword sessions at Cornerstone, as you were the brains behind our operation. You always amazed me with your vast knowledge of almost everything. God Speed my friend. I miss you dearly.

My next trip from Florida to Connecticut will not be the same. I will miss leaving the highway to spend the night in New Jersey with Mary. These visits were very special and the highlight of the trip. I'm sure there will be a stabbing pain of grief as the exits in New Jersey are passed by on the next trip. Rest in Peace, dear Mary

May your memories of the wonderful times you shared with your loved one comfort you and your family, today and always

I will sorely miss the very special, one on one, overnight visits with Mary as I traveled back and forth from Florida to Connecticut. I am sure to feel the painful stab of grief as I drive past those highway exits in New Jersey on future trips. Rest in peace, dear Mary.

Mary was Patty and Tom Holden's dearest friend. I remember the first Christmas that we met. I was wallpapering our first house and my wife disappeared to Mary and Rich's and was visiting and having the worlds best egg nog. Beautiful times, great memories, most beautiful person. Mary, God's speed to your reward in paradise. Say hello to Patty and one day we will all be reunited again.
