Dear Cronin Family:

The funeral Mass at St. Barnabas was truly an outstanding tribute to your Mother. Anne's reflection concerning your Mother was spot on!

God Bless!

My thoughts and prayers go out to all of you "Cronin Kids" and your families at this difficult time. I'm out of the country right now, but would definately be at the Mass and Funeral if I could. Please accept my condolences from Canada, where I am having a mass said for her on Thursday at St. Patrick's Church.
Maggie was a sweet and unforgettable woman who did a wonderful job raising all of you. She is still with us in a new way. Take care, and please let me or my family know if there is anything we can do for you. We are here for you.
