It's hard to believe you left us 9 years ago. You were such a wonderful lady and I think of you often. I'm sure you are keeping busy playing bridge and chatting away with everyone. We were friends for 44 years and I am a better person just knowing you. Till we meet again!

Mary Catherine...there you go, sneaking away on me. I know you did it with a smile. There was always the smile and the positive attitude. Thanks for being a friend to my mother-in-law when you both ended up as roommates when you were both in the same nursing home for a short period of time several years ago. 
You were a joy to work with at IDS/IDS Life. Rest in peace.

Mary Catherine and Vera went to Fort Myers to spring training games with the Twins. It was such a joy to see them and cheer on the Twins. I enjoyed the visits over the years on Sullivan genealogy. It was an honor and a blessing to know her for the past twenty-five years. We await your return to Elma.

What a lovely lady, that loved me & I loved her just as much, she told me that if she ever had a daughter that I would be it & I believe her. I looked forward in seeing her everyday. She will be missed dearly.. As she always say "God Loves You"

For me this is a very sad day. You were my first friend when I joined IDS Life Insurance Company in 1966. I was a secretary in the law department and you were the law librarian. We remained friends for 44 years, attending 3M shareholder meetings together, luncheons at Murray's in Minneapolis and The Lexington in St.Paul, exchanging birthday and Christmas cards (never once did you forget my birthday) and talking on the telephone. You got me hooked on pickled herring and you made the best crab apple jelly ever! You always had a kind word and provided much encouragement when I retired this past March. You were such a great lady! I'll never forget you! May you rest in peace!

Doll,
What great joy and good times you brought to me and our entire family over the years!  From the moment we met you, along with your dear friend, Vera Tinucci, at Lake Ridge Nursing Home, where my grandmother, June Hassett resided, you were forever to become a big part of my life.  All the Tuesday masses at Lake Ridge, the many outings to the Lexington, the countless invitations to St. John Vianny and St. Paul Seminaries for masses and brunches, the good times at dinner parties at my parents home, along with my sister Karen too, it was all so meaningful and wonderful.  We will never forget all the Christmas Eve masses at Nativity with Bishop Peter Christianson presiding, followed by breakfast at Mickie's Diner at 2:00 A.M.!!  You were hard to keep up with!  Lot's of great Irish laughs!  You became my Mother after Mom died 9 years ago.  You were instrumental in John becoming a Catholic, and helped me with the Annulment process.  What a role model you served, with your strong Catholic convictions and living out your life in reverence to God.
You will forever be in my heart and prayers. 
May God make safe to you each step,
May God make open to you each pass,
May God make clear to you each road, and
May God take you in the clasp of his own two hands.
Love Always,
Debbie (Hassett) & John Stadt

Requiescat in pace, Mary Catherine.
