Mrs. O'Ryan... Such a fine woman and person from the old neighborhood, an Irisher if ever there was one. Please accept my sincere sympathy.

O'Ryan Family
Please accept my condolences on the loss of your mother. My prayers are with you and your family. I have many fond memories of your family and home, somewhere we were always welcome. I can't remember how many times I slept over at your house, certainly too many to count, or the numerous evenings and days, on the front porch, and later in the yard, when you got a pool. Your mom always greeted us, asked how we were doing and how our family was doing. Your mom was a kind, friendly, warm lady. She always had special treats, which she generously shared with the nieghborhood, including myself. The chips,pop, Nabisco Snacks, of course, and other treats, even real butter, when it wasn't Christmas. It must have cost her a small fortune, as if nine kids wasn't enough. Can you imagine how much she must have cleaned up after us? I never once heard her complain about all our comings and goings. Always welcoming. She was a great lady and will be greatly missed. With sympathy, Eileen Evoy Davidson

To all of the O'Ryans,
So sorry for your loss - your mom and dad were great parents, always welcoming us as kids into their home. I can still picture the card games and happenings in the basement of the Kildare home. Sigh - it seems like we think that moms are always going to be with us. She will be much in your thoughts and hearts throughout your lifetime. My condolences to all of you.

Please accept the condolences of the entire Farrell Family on the passing of your mother. All of us were not able to attend your mother's services because we had a member of our extended family pass away also. We wish your family joy as you celebrate your mother's life. She was a remarkable and memorable woman.

Dear Marie, and Family;
My sincerest condolences on the death of your good Mother, whom I remember happily meeting. May she rest in peace. I wish I could be with Father Ron (who notified me)and the whole Spiritual Care team of St James Hospital at the funeral. But you know, I am faraway at the moment. I have already offered Mass for her repose. I hope the Irish cousins sustain you with a wake to remember!

I would like to extend my deepest sympathy on the passing of this wonderful woman to her entire family. My late Mother, Margaret McMahon worked with Eileen at Nabisco for many years and always spoke very highly of her. It's always very painful to lose people that we love, but I'm sure she has been welcomed in to Gods Kingdom and Eileen is in a much better place now. May she Rest in Peace.

Dear O'Ryan Family,
You are ALL in my thoughts and prayers.
Your Mom was a great lady!
She will be missed by all who knew her.
I'm sure my Mom and her are catching up on all the latest happenings and Billy you better watch out, because Marty's probably filling her in on some stuff too!
I will keep you ALL in my prayers.
God Bless you All and your Mom, and "Lord, Keep ALL of you in his Pocket".
Love,
Patty Clarke
