Dear Connolly family,. I just found out about your Mom's passing. My parents are still on Center Ave in Emsworth, but their memories are not the best & forgot to tell me about this till yesterday. I would have certainly visited the funeral home had I known. I remember your mom very well. She was an upbeat person and did not tire of seeing me at your door on North Avenue. You all have my sincere sympathies. Eileen, please get in touch when you are free. I hope you are all well. 412-952-7152 or [email protected]

To the entire Connolly Family,
Your Mom was one of those amazing woman of Emsworth. I always remember walking up North Aveneue from the bus after a long days work. Going home to start her second shift of raising her children.
I know you had a great family get together this past summer. I am sure you have many fond memories. You are all in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.
