To Cathy's family -
Thoughts and prayers to you all. As a visitor to the Irish Music Club on the rare occassions of my visits to Boston, it was always nice to see Cathy who never failed to recognize me as Kay Maloney's sister from Ohio and to always stop for a conversation. God Love Her. And God Bless You All.

Mr. Kenney and family,
My deepest sympathy on the loss of your lovely wife and mother. My Dad & Mom (Kay & Red Maloney) were friends of theirs and would sit with them at the Irish Music Club on Sunday nights.
I knew them thru my parents and your Mom was such a lovely woman. She is probably sitting up in heaven with Mary Kenney and my Mom listening to Irish Music.
