My first memory of Mrs. O'Leary was that of a youg girl in grade school who had become fast friends with her oldest daughter Anne. I was greeted and immediately treated like I was one more kid in the family. She became a good friend and as I grew into adulthood she became a friend beyond being my friends mother. We went to church together and even became rebaptized in the spirit together. I will always be grateful and honored for having known her.

To the family of Patricia O'Leary and especially Mary, Liz and Tree.
Ed, Nick, Nan and I wish to express our deepest sympathy to you on the loss of Grandma "O". She holds a special place in our hearts. We had such a great time with her at every birthday and holiday. We will never forget last year at Navy Pier with Grandma "O", Mary, Liz and Tree for Liz's 19th birthday. We enjoyed every minute. Now Grandma "O" can join Dad O'Leary and Tim to watch over us, until we meet again. Love, Cathy, Ed, Nick and Nan.
