What an awesome Aunt, confidante and leader she was. She was a true friend to my mother Maureen Ryan Gawne and spoiled her so as she aged. The stories of the trips the took, especially to Ireland made my mom smile endlessly. I miss you both now more than ever. Thinking of you this spring Morning. Your Beloved Niece Kathleen Gawne.

Dear Anne Marie, Michael, Thomasina, and Patrick, I am so sorry to read of your mother's passing. Though it's been many years, I have never forgotten your family. I had tried to find you, Anne Marie, just to say hello, but also to tell your parents how very grateful I was to have them as role models in my life. Your mother's love for you was always in evidence, and it radiated through her beauty. When I needed a safe haven, your family always made me feel welcome and safe. They treated you and your friends with respect, and talked to us as if we were the adults we would one day become. How lucky you were to have Elizabeth and Michael Sr. bring you into this world. I am so sorry for your loss.

We were saddened to hear of Aunt Eilish's passing. May our cousins and their families be comforted by all the wonderful, fun-loving, and sweet memories they have of her presence in their lives. Further comfort, we are sure, comes from knowing your mom is happy in heaven now, with Uncle Mike. Our family is keeping your family in our thoughts and prayers. All the best,

I am so sorry for your loss to all. I treasured your mom so much. She had such kind words to me when I was taking care of her granddaughter. I will always remember her saying I was a nice lady and Ashley was lucky to have me. I also think about her saying we wont have it I could hear her saying that. God Bless your at peace and in a better place suffer no more your with Rory and your loved ones.
