Mom McCarthy was one of the nicest people I've known in my lifetime. I feel blessed to have known her, but so heartbroken that she is gone. She raised a wonderful family, especially my friend Theresa, thank you for bringing her into this world. No matter what Terri, she will always be in your heart and nobody can take that away from you.
Dad McCarthy, I'm so sorry for the loss of such a wonderful wife, but thank you for sharing her with so many other people. My thoughts are with you and the entire family.
Love,
Kelly

Joann was a model of how to live your life on earth in preparation for eternal life. She will be missed by all. As Pastor Mike said at the 7:30 Mass on Sunday. "She is with the Lord."
