I had the privilege of getting to know Mary well through our shared involvement in the Daughters of Penelope. She was a remarkable woman, known for her kindness and love. Every time I saw her, she would greet me with a warm smile and a comforting hug. Her presence will be greatly missed by all who had the honou of knowing her.
Our sincerest condolences to her sons and their families.
