I am so sad to learn of your Mom's passing. It is such a wrenching time. She was a great lady who always was so nice to your friends. My own mother died just hours ago, and I feel your heartache. Peace, Rose

I had the pleasure of meeting Mary only a few times over the course of about 30 years. She never failed to impress with her unpretentious grace and her Irish wit. Beautiful in every way, with a welcoming smile and non judge-mental acceptance. A great matriarch. My condolences to the Cavanaugh family.
