I was grieved to hear of the passing of Aunt Babe. Although decades have passed since I last saw her, I still remember her as a loving and gentle lady with a wonderful sense of humor. On behalf of myself and my whole family, please accept our most sincere condolences. May God bless her and grant her eternal peace.

To the Daly Cousins,
George and I are so glad we had the chance to visit with Auntie Babe recently.
Still joking and laughing with that shy little smile, she was surrounded that day by family and friends. Aren't we all blessed to have had her in our lives.

Kathy & Peggy;
Please accept my deepest sympathy. I know when you are as close as you were to your mother the funeral becomes more of a celebration of her life than morning her death, but it still hurts. I plan to see you at the wake. Love DOC

Dear Daly Cousins~
You have my deepest sympathies for the loss of your Mom. My Godmother, “Babe,” was always a lovely & caring lady who was so nice to be around! The South Side Keanes always looked forward to the long car rides to your North Side childhood home for the great parties that she welcomed us to! When you lose your Mom, it leaves a hole in your heart, but I hope all your happy memories bring you peace & make you smile in the coming days. She was so proud of her children & their beautiful families, & you have taken wonderful care of her.

Love & prayers to all~
