My sincere sympathy for your loss, Mary Claire, and your family's. You may not remember me; I am Dolores's (Kennedy) cousin Alice O'Malley Keane. I remember meeting you and Bob many years ago at Jim and Do's wedding, and being so impressed with how friendly and kind and fun you both were. I was a teenager then; it is an impression that has lasted these 50+ years, testimony to you and Bob as a lovely couple. Sincerely, Alice
