My heart and prayers go out to Bob and to his family and to Mary's family.This is so hard to believe I have been friends with Bob and Mary for many years and it would be hard to find a couple more devoted to each other.I have fond memories of times spent with Bob and Mary at the Kilkenny Castle and at the Irish Village and I will always remember her sweet singing voice, Mary was a true lady in every sense of the word sweet,gentle,and a good word for everyone she will be missed more than words can express.Rest in peace sweet and gentle soul.

I am simply speechless. To think talented Mary Blinn, light of Bob's life, has passed away is hard to fathom. I don't know a more devoted or inseparable couple. I met Mary and Bob back in the early 1980's at Kilkenny Castle. These two "customers" became dear friends and they both encouraged me in my pursuit of the arts. I also remember her devotion to raising money for children's charities. I loved Mary's laugh and will forever picture her looking over and smiling at her beloved husband Bob. Prayers and waves of love to Mary's family and friends and especially you Bob!
