Mom, love you still and always. Hard to believe it has been 12 years. Mom is in the baby blue in the back. This is at Lizzie's wedding, she is front and center. Mandy to the right, Sue to the left, me directly behind.

Dear Morrissey Family,
Al Eckert told me your Mom passed away. My heart is very sad for all of you. God Bless Your Mom - I had no idea she was involved in AA and Alanon...would have loved to have gotten together with her for a cup of coffee on that subject. I wish all of you peace at this difficult time. Where have the years gone...would be great to catch up - 203-209-9307.

Wow, the Morrissey's. Sorry to connect this way and I know how much Mary Jane will be missed by all those that she has touched in her life. She was my second Mom growing up and I know she went on to serve and help many, many people. Someone left me a message but I couldn't make out the phone number, please try again as I would like to talk to Liz, Susan or Kit.
