As beautiful on the inside as she was on the outside, my cousin Bunnie wore her quiet steadiness, her intelligence, and her quick, Irish wit with a grace that was like no other. I feel so lucky that she was my cousin in our amazingly wonderful extended family. I've sent along a picture of one of the very best of times.

So sorry for this sad time in your lives. You are in our thoughts and prayers. God Bless each one of you with a happy memory that will lighten the sorrows from your hearts. Thinking of you,

At my Dad's 80th birthday party 19 years ago, Bunnie and Bill were amongst the last to leave, and they took such good care of my mom and dad, expecially when it was time for the inevitable gathering around the piano.

To all her family - I didn't have a chance to get to know my cousin Bunnie well, but I know how special she was to my Dad (Frank) and so many of my aunts and uncles. The times we did get to chat were so much fun for me, as she had so many great memories and stories to tell me (all of which I loved, as I tried to do some Barry genealogy).
May God and Mary bring you the peace and strength you may need at this time...
Love,
Karen (daughter of Frank and Agnes)

Dear Adams Family,
I heard the announcement at St. Rose yesterday and was saddened by the news. I did not know her very well but when I saw her she had such style and was really just a "class act". I noticed from the obituary that she did some modeling early on and she was beautiful inside and out. You all were truly blessed to have her in your lives. God Bless.
