Dear Jimmy, Danny, Mary and Julie,



I'm so very sorry for your loss.

I always enjoyed talking to your Mom on the phone. She was always so kind to me and and I know that she will be dearly missed by her family and friends. May all your good memories push away your pain and bring a smile to your face.

My heart and prayers are with you.

Even though the years have passed too quickly, the memories stay with us forever. I have so many fond memories of Aunt Mary and the fun we all had together with Uncle Jimmy, and our wonderful cousins Jimmy, Mary Clare, Julie and Danny. We didn't get to spend too much time together, but when we did it was always special. Aunt Mary, you will always hold a dear spot in my heart. The angels are lucky to have you with them and make them laugh now.
