Not sure what to say?

I am sorry to hear of your loss. Mary was an extraordinary soul it seems, rising above her physical issues to serve all her life. I had no contact with her since many years back but the time I knew her I remember her ebullient spirit, the love she gave her first few foster children, and how much she loved her family and the Lord. I pray He comforts all those left behind.

Msgr Shugrue, my condolences to you and your family on the loss of your sister Mary. Her devotion to her faith is an inspiration. May Christ Our Savior have mercy on her and welcome her into His Father's Kingdom. Moira Brady (formerly of St Aedan's parish)

Mary was truly amazing and beautiful person. I had the privilege of being her friend and hairdresser for many many years. She was such an inspiration, never complaining and she always had such a positive attitude. I know she´s home with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and we will surely see her again. Our separation from her is only temporary!
