My wife says "Debbie called..." and even though I have a sister named Debbie, I knew what was going on....I was there only about three weeks ago to visit Mary with my wife. Mary and Bob were talking to us like we were their kids, and you know what, we are their kids. Kathy, Debbie and David, our heart goes out to you guys and I am very sad tonite. I talked to your father, (I couldnt even speak) and he is so strong and he talked me into not crying. I am sitting here thinking about the Meenan family and I am sincerely sad. God Love You all, and May Mom rest in peace.

I love you guys.

Dear Bob - To say I was floored last Thursday when I stopped by and you took me aside to tell me about Mary, well, that would be an understatement. I could always depend on a big wave and a quick-witted story and laugh whenever I would run into Mary...be it as I was picking up the mail or walking by with Coco. She was indeed a delight and I will sorely miss the Ha-Has and Howdys whenever our paths crossed. Sincerely, Kevin (Coco too!)

Bob, David, Kathy, & Debbie,
So sorry for your great loss. Mary was a credit to the whole world. I am sorry that we did not get to see all of you for these many years, but that does not diminish one bit the feelings that I and my whole family have always had for Mary. She was one of Pearl's junior bridesmaids way back in 1952, and one of the sweetest persons ever. Bob, I know that you will always keep her in your heart and time will strenthen the love you already have.

Mr. Meenan, David, Kathy, Debbie & Families,
Please know you are all in my thoughts and prayers. Your mom was a great lady and always treated me like another daughter (which I loved). I have had a flood of happy memories come back from time spent growing up with you guys. I miss those days, but I now find myself trying to be the "Mrs. Meenan" when my girls bring their friends home. She was a wonderful lady, a great influence, and a lot of fun. She will be forever loved and missed by me. Please know I am here if you need anything.

Dear Bob:

My heartfelt sympathy for your loss can not be expressed in words. I will remember you in my prayers. I can also take pleasure when praying, knowing that you and Mary have shared a life time together and have memories that no matter what can not be taken from you. Hold on to those memories, and think of all those good times when you are sad, or at happy hour.

Best wishes
