I pray peace, love and strength over those that loved Mary Frances and those that Mary Frances loved. Mary Frances lived this life as a care giver. My hope and understanding is that she will spend eternity in the Lord´s care. I am sure she will be well represented by family and friends that have gone before her. "Suaimhneas siorai´ da´ hanam"

Mary was one of the most caring persons you could ever meet. Always putting everyone ahead of herself. The time has now come for Mary to take care of herself and be with all of her family that have gone before. It is a joyous reunion and we are left behind waiting for our time to meet again
