I'm so sorry to hear Mom passed away. I remember her vividly from the Coral Lane days. She was always good to me. Gary, Patty, Timmy, you lost a good one.

I was sorry to read that Mary Fran is gone. I remember her as one of the original and central members of our Levittown Drum & Bugle Corps (later The Earls of Bucks); always present, always shepherding the kids. She was also ever-present on Coral Lane, which was THE place we congregated in the early-mid 1960s. Having lost my own dad just months ago, it stirs up bittersweet memories of who we were back then, and the adults like Mary Fran, my dad, and so many others who made it happen. They were indeed very good times. Thanks, Mary Fran.

To the Kelly Family,
Please accept my most sincere sympathy on the death of your dear Mother, Mary Fran. What a great lady; talented, generous, and a joy to know. I always enjoyed her choir at St. Mike's, and I especially enjoyed celebrating Mass there when the choir sang and she played the Organ. A great blessing to everyone. I will offer holy Mass for her soul. May she now lead the Angelic Choir in heaven.
Sincerely,
Fr. Richard Davis, TOR
Franciscan University of Steubenville, OH.
