Dear McQuinn Family,

The news of your Mom's reunion with the Lord, came to me too late to pay my respects. It's been many years since we have been in touch, but I carry fond memories. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Sincerely,

Mary Kazmierczak

I will always remember how easily Mrs. McQuinn found laughter when life amused her and how her eyes sparkled when she smiled. I have fond memories of her pouring tea, good strong hardy tea, and settling happily into conversation with anyone who joined her. I am deeply grateful to have known her.

I am so sad to hear of Bridie's passing. I worked with her a few years back and she was one of the sweetest people I've had the privilege to know and I am grateful to have been given the opportunity to know her. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time.

To the McQuinn Family,

On behalf of St. Patrick Fathers I extend my sympathy and prayers to Denis and his Family. I know he and Bridie used to come to our dances. As I am out of town this weekend I will be unable to be at he wake and funeral. You will be in our thoughts and prayers.
