Jackie, MaryEllen, Frankie, and family.

You are all in my prayers. We grew up together, and you guys were family. Your mom was a wonderful person, and dear friend to my mom for all these years. Sorry I could not be down for the services.

Love,
Marie and Dylan

I am so sorry for your loss. Mary was a wonderful person. I knew her for many years. My mom and sister live only half a block from where Mary worked. She never forgot who we were. Everytime I came up from down the shore, if I'd see Mary, she would always come down the block and say hi. May the Lord carry you through this most difficult time.
