May you find comfort and peace in the many wonderful memories of your mother. Her beautiful dancing green eyes, ready smile and most of all her big heart and endless kindness and compassion. She taught me the true meaning of friendship. Her loyalty was a rock. She was so proud of you all. So when you can, sing and dance and laugh again, after all you were taught by the best.

I could go on and on about how much Mary Ann meant to me as well as helped me in my life. Mary Ann had a heart of gold and would do anything for anyone. I loved her smile and her laugh which lite up a room. I have many found memories of Mary Ann and cherished talks that will help me for the rest of my life. One great memory is at my Wedding when all of the Dermody's got up and did the Irish JIG I thought for a minute I hired someone. They were fabulous!!! I love you all of Kevin, Christy, Chris, Peggy and Sara you are all in my thoughts and prayers. Your entire family will always be in my heart I just love all of you. God Bless.
