My prayers are with you all at this time of loss. Your mother was a great one! While still a senior at Sacred Heart High & quite full of myself she took me in for a few days while blowing off steam instead sending me packing back home (around the corner). My family still gets a chuckle about the time I ran away from home all the way over to Kevin’s house. I’ll never forget her generosity & kindness.
Sincerely, David Shelhorn

Dear 'Auntie Una' I'm so sorry I didn't get to see you before you left us. I have so many memories of you from babysitting the twins to seeing you at'family events'. Believe it or not I can clearly remember seeing you for the first time when you came to San Francisco... pregnant with the twins with a heavy double breasted camel coat....looking very warm.
You always gave me good practical unemotional advice in my young years...greatly appreciated. As they say "you had a way about you"
You know I admired you so I'm not
'too' ashamed of writing these feelings. You were a good and steady friend to my mother. My Mom's memorial card would apply to you also..."I have fought the good fight. I have finished the race. I have kept the faith. Henceforth there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness. " 2 Timothy 47-8
Goodbye good lady! Your niece Irene (OConnell) DeMaria

With my prayers of sympathy at the loss of your mother, a wonderful woman. Though it has been a very long time since I've seen any of you, especially Deirdre, I send you my love and support. (I have read the obituary online, as I am in Dublin on sabbatical.)

My deepest sympathy to the McCarthy family on the passing of Una, she was a lovely caring woman.
I often called to your home in the Marina with my father, Tommy McElligott, and she always had a special welcome.
Sincerly, Danny McElligott
