To The Noonan Family,
I am so sorry for the loss of your beloved Mom. Your Mom was such a special woman who always had a smile and a kind word to say whenever I saw her. She was a remarkable woman who raised 11 great kids and her loss is big to the community of South Boston. I will miss seeing her at the Bayside on St. Paddy's Day hanging with my Mom and some of the other great women in this town!
God Rest Her Soul.
