Ellen, Beth and family,
All the Dohertys will miss your mother/grandmother. She was a wonderful lady who lived a great life. I am happy to say I was able to visit with Mrs. Kelley with my mother just a few weeks ago. We will miss her.

Right about now, I'm sure Aunt Marie is setting a beautiful table in heaven! One of my many treasured childhood memories was traveling to Boston for a summertime visit to see Aunt Marie, Uncle Jim, Beth & Ellen, as well as the many, many cousins and seeing that beautiful dining room table set for dinner!

Love,
Cindy & Patrick Cerillo

This is the time for only the good and happy memories of which I have many. The years spent on Dorchester Avenue with your mother and father, Sister, Betty, you girls all the animals and all the craziness that made a family. Your mother was a big part of my life and I will always look back on those years with a smile.

Love to both of you.
