Condolences to the Family of Emily Mulleen.
I read the article about her in the Globe and was quite touched by her intrepid approach to life. Hers was one of losses early and challenges I'll never have. She certainly was an inspiration to her family and friends and now to me. It was uplifting to read about her and how fortunate you all were to have had her all your lives.
Regards,
A.M. Tracy

Dear Marilyn and Dottie,

Your mom was an inspiration to many people and was so loved. It was my pleasure to have made her aquaintance at a young age and to have known her all these years.
You will be in my thoughts and prayers during this time of your great loss. Joanne
