Dear Ed and family, I am very sorry to hear about Mary Margaret's death. She was a lovely person and my parents thought very highly of her as did our entire family. As you know, mother and Liz came to America together and were very close friends until Liz's untimely death many years ago. I remember going down to 55th street to visit them in their cozy little house and what a good time we all had together. Mary Margaret was always so glamorous and elegant - as a little girl I thought she was like our own "Grace Kelly." Now she is with Loretta and their mom -and my mom and dad, too. Once more I am very sorry to hear of her passing and would like to extend my sincere condolences to you and your family. Rosemary Dolan-Lesh
