To Mary's family,
We have had a strong and loving relationship with you for many years. I have admired Mary since I was a small child. Mary Ellen and I have had many visits and admired her strength and energy and her love for her family. I am so happy I was able to visit recently. Love, Margaret DeWitt and family.

To the Ferriter family, please accept my deepest condolences. Your mother was a very special woman. My fondest memories of her are during the St. Sym's Family fest she would organize all the ladies in the Widows and Widowers group to bake goodies to sell at the Bingo games. I will keep your family in my prayers. Mary Winters
