Im sure you are wonderful parents - you certainly had excellent examples. Sincerely, A Leishure

I remember Mary Cronin from the late 1960's - the same woman whom others described as loving and warm was so kind to me when I was a young Sister in the Mission Helpers of the Sacred Heart. She never spoke an unkind word, and always let you know that you were precious in her eyes and valued....
Remembering you, Mary, with gratitude and love, Fran Gorsuch

Mary was my parents neighbor on the 6th floor of HR for years. They adored her, and so did my husband and I. We loved talking to Mary about her life and family. She was so sweet and kind, and also up on what was happening in the world. Although I havent seen her since my mom moved to her new building last July, I will miss her!

I do not believe there are adequate words to describe the amazing person Ms. Mary was or to describe the dedicated life she lived. My family knew this amazing couple, and their families, when they lived in our neighborhood in Westminster and attended church with us. When I learned of her passing my heart was heavy because her life here on Earth was done, but I guarantee that Teddy Bear was awaiting her in heaven with open arms. The love they shared was one like no other. What blessings they were to so many.
Thank you Ms. Mary for being a part of our lives and for all the selfless things you did daily for everyone in your life. You will be missed more than you know. I love you Ms. Mary and please give Mr. Ted a hug from his "Wedeking Girls".

Mary was very popular at Charlestown where she lived and volunteered her service among the sick and lonely. She enjoyed us all by showering us with her love and caring. She was a perfect example of how to live a joyful and giving life.

Mary is the best person I have ever met. She loved with reckless abandon, arms and heart wide open. Loving her and being loved by her has changed me forever. My heart is sore with the grief of loss, but also swollen in awe of Mary's joyful certainty that she would soon be reunited with the love of her life. I am deeply grateful for the many ways she has enriched and blessed my life.

She danced.
