Sarah Conway Obituary

Tom, I was so surprised and saddened to read of your mother's death in the Dec. 3 article about her and Mary Heidcamp in the Sun Times. I only met her a couple of times, but she was a truly lovely person. I have moved to the south side with my daughter Lorien, and do not get up to Roger's Park often, but I have fond memories of you and your family from my years in Rogers Park. I am so very sorry for your loss. Kerri Ronne

John, Anne Marie & the Entire Conway Family:

Your family is in our hearts and prayers. Your mother was a wonderful woman who will be remembered forever.

Mike and Family,
My deepest sympathy to you and your family. I remember first meeting your mother when I was a delivering the Chicago Today paper to your house. Your mother always had a pleasant smile and nice greeting for me when I came to your door. My family and I will keep you and your family in our prayers.

Dear Bridget,I was so sorry to hear of your sister's death.Iam so close to my sisters I can only imagine you and your family's pain.I will keep Sarah,you and your family in my prayers.

Sincerly,Jo Duffy,CRNA.

Dear Anne Marie, Michael, Patrick, Thomas, John, and Seamus,

I will remember your mom, Pat, as a loving and holy woman. Back in the 60s and 70s we lived down the block from you on Glenwood. One morning as I was washing my hair to get ready for school, the water was unexpectedly shut off in our apartment. My mom (Miriam) called your mom and asked her if I could go and rinse my hair at your house. Of course she said yes, so I wrapped my hair up in a big towel and I was grateful to be able to use your sink and managed to get to school on time. I was so embarrassed by this, but your mom never forgot it and still laughed about it when we ran into her over the years. My mom and I also often joined your mom's rosary circle after the nine o'clock Mass at St. Gert's. The irony of her untimely death during this advent season when so many of the scripture readings are about the need to be always spiritually prepared did not escape me. No doubt your mom was ready to meet her Lord, but so many of us are not and we have much to learn from her. She died on Peace Road and in her own life exemplified the truth that the road to peace is prayer, sacrifice, and service. Be assured that she is with the Lord and her loved ones on the other side.

I ask the BVM to console you and your family,

Our deepest sympathy on the death of your mother. We met her in 2004 when visiting Kate in Chicago, such a lovely person. Kate will miss her best friend. Winnie & June (Kate's sister and niece)

Dear Mike & Family,

My deepest sympathy to you and your family.

Your mother was a special lady. Running into Pat at a store, a wake, a meeting was always a joy. Her loss is deeply felt by all our family. Regret missing the services as we were in Hawaii.

Dear Conway Family:

I am so sorry for the loss of your mom. She was a beautiful woman, always so friendly, kind and wonderful to see. My thoughts and prayers are with you all during this time.

I will treasure the fond memories I have of your mom and my auntie Pat; the twinkle in her eye, the tea and scones she always had ready, and the welcoming she gave to everyone.

I prayed the rosary and attended daily Mass with Pat. I sat right next to her in the pew every day--what a privilege! Pat was very dear to me, a great spiritual role model and teacher. She was the very model of piety, sweetness, humility, service, kindness.

She welcomed people with such gentleness. She always had an extra rosary in her purse for those who forgot theirs at home, or, a joy to her, for those who were new to the rosary. She taught our children at school the rosary, too.

She was a woman of such quiet service. The sacristry, the linens, the Legion of Mary, the rosary, bringing the Eucharist to the shut-ins, scores of funerals and wakes, giving rides to the sick--on and on it goes.

I will miss her hugs and kisses, and her sweet smile. I will miss praying with her very much. She was a saint.

Dear Pat and boys,
Ours thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this difficult time. We hope you are all able to recall the wonderful times you had with your mom and hold onto those forever.
Take care, hugs and love to you,
John & Rose Colletti and Family

I am so sorry for your loss. My prayers are with you.

A WISH FOR A FRIEND
Wishing you a rainbow
For sunlight after showers—
Miles and miles of Irish smiles
For golden happy hours—
Shamrocks at your doorway
For luck and laughter too,
And a host of friends that never ends
Each day your whole life through!

Dear Conway Family, I was deeply saddened to hear about the tragic loss of your dear mom. The service today was a beautiful tribute to her and your entire family. You are in my thoughts.

To all of you, my most heartfelt whishes.
