Meg, Francis, Billy & Maryanne: We are so sorry for your loss. Your mom was one of the greatest women I have even know. She was a caring, thoughtful, friendly person. Always smiling. I know that she is smiling down at all of you and wants the best as she always did for her children. I hope that she runs into my mother up there and she can fill her in (althought, I know that she sees). Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

I am very sad to hear of the loss of such a special person. I always enjoyed visiting with Mary and catching up on news and we laughed at how she would always want to feed everyone. She was a kind and generous person with a great spirit and I will miss her. My sympathy to Meg and your family on the loss of your mom and to Mary's entire family. Mary Howard

I am so sorry for your loss. Your mother was a terrific lady. We had many wonderful conversations over the back fence. It was a joy to be her neighbor for 12 years. She was most happy when we chatted about her children. I miss Philly and your mom very much. The old block will never be the same without seeing your mom and grandkids playing with the hose on hot summer days. My prayers are with you.
