Hello McCabes,

My Dad saw your Mom's obit in the local paper. All the McNally's are saddened to hear of her loss. You were blessed by a beautiful mother. We were glad to have experienced some great moments with her. I was married in 1980 & recently spent time looking at ALL the special people that were in my Mom's and Dad's life and Mary Rose and Peter were there with beaming smiles. God Bless your Mom!
Warm Regards,
Sheila, Randy and the McNally's
