To Mary´s twin nieces:
MTH just had a memorial Mass for everyone in their entire community who passed away in 2023. I knew that your aunt passed away, but I didn´t know her last name. I am truly sorry for your loss.
I would watch both of you lovingly feeding Mary in the dining room when I was there with my Mom, Dolores (the walker), at lunchtime. I remember that it took months to realize that there were two of you!
Your aunt was so lovingly taken care of.
Mary O´Leary Korbus (Lemont)
Daughter of MTH residents Dolores and Cornelius O´Leary.
