Dear Maureen and Family,
Words can't express the sorrow I know we all feel. Your Mom was like part of the credit union. She will be missed greatly, but like you said she didn't suffer and that helps. She will always be your guardian angel and her help is just a prayer away. Take care.

Dear Devlin Family,
The passing of your wife, mother, grandmother, and friend to so many is so sudden and sad. I know she will be missed beyond words. She was the core, the heart, the soul of your family. She was so full of life and vitality. I know if there is a way, she will watch over you all, she will not only be with you in spirit, but also, if you look closely, in her mannerisms that you all have come by. You are in our thoughts and prayers. God bless you all.
Love Rosemary, Ray, Denise and Keith

Mr Dev,Tommy,Bobby,Michelle, and Maureen,
To say I am sorry for your loss would be a understatement. There are not enough words to express the way Mrs Dev affected my life. She, along with your family was there for me when I needed it the most and for that I will be eternally grateful. Thank you Mrs. Dev. You will be missed.

Tom, Tommy, Bob, Michele & Maureen:

I just wanted to express my heartfelt condolences to you, and the entire Devlin & Gallagher families. Anne was loved by many. She was an incredible person who spent her life taking care of others. She had this wonderful way of making everyone feel like part of her family. Many of us who grew up in Olney viewed your house on Champlost Ave. as a second home…..and Anne as a second mom. She touched many lives and will be greatly missed.

With Love,
Colleen
