Dear Mary Pat, I am so very sorry to hear of the loss of your mom. It leaves such a pain in your heart to lose a parent. I know, because I lost my dad. I am sorry I didn’t get to go the the Wake. I just came across the notice. Please give my condolences to your dad and to your brothers and sisters. I remember the good old days hanging out on California Dr. and playing the piano at your house…Your mom was a sweetheart. Take care of your dad now. Your mom is at peace…..
Dear Uncle Jack, dear cousins and family, I am so sorry to hear about Aunt Mary Lou. I thought when I was in Rochester 2 years ago , that would be the last time I would see her. Then here she was in May of this year, at
aunt Joan’s cottage..laughing,visiting ..and staying til the end of the party! She was a fighter. Love to all of you. Ann
I am so sorry for your ‘loss’, everyone.
I can still remember seeing and talking with her at your house when we all used to ‘hang out’ with you, MaryPat.
She was a very kind, sweet woman.
I will always remember my Aunt Mary Lou as a vital and important member of the our Muench/Kavanaugh family. With all her kids and all the constant energy around her I know she lived a full life. To my Uncle Jack & all my cousins I extend my best wishes and hold great memories of your mom and all of you.
Best regards,
Johnny
