I am sorry that I can not celebrate Mary's life with her family and friends. We shared our faith, Irish heritage, and our roots in Somerville. We go way back. Times with Mary were happy. She had a beautiful smile and soul. Maureen Tighe

What a terrible loss. Mary was such a special gal. She was warm, loving, so spiritual. I am glad for her that she has gone home to God. What a welcome, we can be sure. I am glad I knew her. My condolences to all the family and her dear friends. Mary Cunniff
