Dear cousins Maryanne & Jack,
May the Peace of Christ be with you at this time. I have very fond memories of Aunt Mary, her little tea parties and ice cream socials. She taught me many good life lessons. We spent many happy weekends with her and Uncle John. Your cousins Ben & Pat O'Neal

So sorry to hear of your loss. Another wonderful lady from Hayes Ave is greeted by God's open arms and the those of former neighbors who went before her. (Chet and Mary Kuchinski were my Aunt and Uncle.)

Dear Aunt Maryanne,
Mom called me to tell me about Aunt Mary's passing. I remember her and Uncle John best at Nana and Pop-pop's house in Reading every holiday. She was always larger-than-life, and so good to me. I know she is at peace now. My deepest sympathies.
