Mamie was one of my best friends. We were in England together and came out to Boston around the same time. Mamie, myself and Ann Devane were best friends for years. So many great memories of time spent together. She was a wonderful person. You will be missed Mamie, Rest In Peace.

Sincere sympathies for the loss of a very warm and kind person - a real lady. Have fond memories of her kindness going back to the summer I stayed with you in Richmond St in 1973.
May she rest in peace and her memory live on forever with those of us who knew her.
