My sympathy to the Foley Family,

Marybeth was always a strong and caring person. She enjoyed helping and teaching others. She will be missed by LGH, the staff and the patients.

I was in first through eighth grade with Mary Beth. We lost touch for several years but spent a few months after college becoming reaquainted. She was a great friend and will be deeply missed.

Mrs. Karl and family,

May the love of friends and family be a source of comfort to you at this time. Kristin told me about Mary Beth running in the Boston Marathon this past April. She was an incredible power of example for many people and I will keep her and all of you in my thoughts and prayers.

"Some people come into our lives and quickly go. Some people stay for awhile and move our souls to dance. They awaken us to a new understanding, leave footprints on our hearts and we are never, ever the same." This is the impact Mary Beth has had on the lives of so many people she has touched at Lowell General Hospital. I feel truly blessed to have known her.

MaryBeth was a role model for everyone in Maternal child health at Lowell General. Her faith, warmth, and humor will be sadly missed.

Mrs. Foley, Tommy, Cathy, Pat, Vinni, Justine, Barbara, Micheal- I am so sorry to hear about Mary's death. I will always cherish seeing her smiling face when I was younger swimming when I'd swim in her moms pool. I will also always cherish those March of Dimes walks that we did together. Mary's kindness has touched me in many ways and throughout my life I will never forget it. Stay strong and I'm always here.

Mary Beth hired me 3 years ago at Lowell General Hospital. I was so impressed by her during my interview, her strenth and her dedication to the unit. I respected her so much and feel a huge sense of loss for a great leader, friend and RN.

To the Foley Family:

I am so sorry for your loss. Mary Beth was one of a kind! May you take comfort in knowing how many lives she touched in her much too brief time with us. I am a better person for having known her and believe anyone who knew her is. She will be missed immensely.

I was so sorry to read of your sister's death. I thought of our recent LSC Reunion and the proud and loving words you had for us about Mary Beth. My sympathy to all in the wonderful Foley family.

Dear Patricia,

I'm very sorry to hear of the passing of Mary Beth. When I read the obituary this morning it evoked wonderful memories of your Dad and your entire family and those wonderful days of long ago on Tower Hill. You and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers in the days ahead.
