Dear Joe, Bobby, Lynn & family:
Our condolences on the death of your beloved mom & grandmom, Marie. She was always friendly and loved to sit out on Roseberry street and say hello to everybody.
We are very appreciative to all of you for designating the Katie Kirlin fund to be the recipient of her donations. Many wheelchair athletes will be helped in Marie's memory.
With Sympathy,
Joe & Roseann Kirlin

She was the last and best of her kind from another time and era in South Philadelphia's Mt. Carmel Parish. She was the loving Matriarch of a family that made a difference. She will be missed.
