To Meg, Matt, and Children:
Please accept my deepest sympathy on your loss. To lose a parent, is a difficult experience. My prayers and thoughts are with you at this time, and in the future.
Give the children a big hug for me. They are too young, to lose a grandmother. Be assured that your pain is my pain, and that I am there in anyway to be of assistance.

To the McSherry Family,

My sincerest sympathy on the loss of your mom and grandma. Evelyn was a jewel and a wonderful person.

We worked together for over 22 years at PEB and Watersone. A few of you I have met but I feel like I know alot about all of you from the way your mom raved about her kids and grandkids.

Her loving family is her legacy and that Irish smile will be remembered forever.

She was a great colleague and friend.

To the McSherry Family,

We are so sorry to hear about the loss of your mother. I am sorry we can not be there for the wake and funeral as we are in Florida.

Evelyn was a wonderful friend and colleague for the past 22 years that I have known her. I have always enjoyed sharing ideas and stories about our ventures. She loved to laugh and always had a great attitude and perspective on life. I will miss our conversations.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

To the McSherry Family - I consider myself truly blessed to have known your Mother, "Evie". I met her through your father and there is something to be said about 30 years later still holding two people in such high esteem as I do today. Evie was the rock that Jack and your entire family could count on. Such a lovely person and I will always think of her with a great deal of respect and love. Although we didn't see each other often, my whole family knows of the McSherry family and how I hold them close to my heart. I only hope that the thought that they are together again will console each of you. With Love, Paulette, Brian and Family
