Mary Ellen, Kathy, and Betty Ann,
It's hard to believe that seven years have already passed since your mom went to heaven.
It has been five and a half years since my mom joined her. Heaven must be a beautiful place,
especially with the two of them there!
I have so many good memories of your mom, especially those involving her relationship with
my mom, my parents. She was truly a great friend - kind, caring, and giving.
May she always be an inspiration to us all!
Love, Cathy Cunniffe Kokoska

Dear Bob and Family,
I am so saddened to hear of Mary's death. What began as a babysitting "job" for my three girls became a friendship for me and an extra grandmother for them. They loved to hear that Mrs. K was coming, and I felt so blessed to know her. May the memories we share, and those you hold close to your hearts, always keep her spirit in your lives. Love to all of you.

Dear Katein Family,
Mrs. Katein was part of 4 of our generations. First, she was a dear friend and companion of my parents Mary and Marty. Then my siblings and I were raised along with her children. Next came my children who got to know Mrs. Katein. And finally my granddaughter Kiara was blessed to meet her as well.
We all have many good memories, and we will really miss making new ones. We were truly lucky to have known such a beautiful person.
Love, Cathy

Cathy, what a great lady your Mom was. She always made me feel so welcome when I came to your house when we were in Notre Dame together. She was just an absolute joy to know. She will surely be missed. Sorry I missed the Mass on Sat. I'm sure it was lovely. I'll give you a call soon. Love, PAT

Mrs. k was my childhood babysitter. She taught me to sew and bake, and was like a second grandmother to me and my sisters. She was such a wonderful woman, I had the joy of catching up with her on her birthday last year. She will always hold a special place in my heart.

Bob & family,
I'll miss my best Ridley Park friend. Mary and I shared so many good times over the past 70 years or so, from when she was a young girl and I was a young mom. Then we both grew old gracefully, of course! Wait until we meet in heaven!!!
Love,
Mary / Mrs. C.

I was shocked to hear about Aunt Mary's death. She was a strong, giving woman, particularly at St. Madeline. Growing up I remember how she made dresses, especially wedding dresses, and it impressed me. When we celebrated my parents 50th wedding anniversary at my house, Aunt Mary came with a custom-made cake. I couldn't believe she had time to make such a cake and how delicious it was. She certainly was a multi-talented woman and will be missed.
