Dear McCarthy and Forshay Families:
I just returned from a vacation this week and was so sorry to hear about Mary. When events such as this happen in our lives, there is never any explanation nor is there anything that can take away the pain as you grieve. I have fond memories of Mary as we attended St. Mary's High School, St. Mary's Colorguard and later going out to dinner with Mary and Jean O'Rourke. Mary had a terrific smile and wonderful personality was contagious to all around her. My deepest condolences are with your famiies at this time of sympathy. You will all be in my prayers during this time and the days ahead.

For Mary --
I will miss you always - me and the other MGH gals had some great times at your house -- I will always remember them with a smile.
For her family -- you all should be proud of the care you gave her. Take comfort knowing that you lived every moment with her to the fullest and gave her all the love you could.

My mother and I just wanted to take a minute to express our sincerest sympathy for your loss. It seems like only a few years ago we were all in St. Mary's School together, and Mrs. Forshay was lunch mother or bringing Michael to school to see his older brothers. Your mother, wife, sister, was a widely respected and loved woman. She will missed by all!

Dear Matt and Family,
Our caring thoughts are with you during this difficult time and those ahead. You have been SO wonderful to your mother and wife. Not everyone is so lucky to be blessed with such an amazing person as part of their family. May those memories make you smile and give you strength at the times you need them the most.

DEAR EILEEN,
In all the distress today, it must comfort you to remember that human love is transmuted into the Eternal.
