I am so sad Aunt Mary is gone. What is a birthday going to be like without a card from her! My kids still make reference to getting birthday cards from Moni. She will be missed by all the Kelly Rellies!! However, I pray for comfort for Therea, the boys and family who will miss her more acutely than anyone else.
Cherished Aunt (great Aunt in my case) is right! Never, ever, ever would Aunt Moni forget a birthday or not be in attendance at the special moments in not only my, but the rest of our family’s lives. I fondly remember her and my Nana at the kitchen table with pennies and scratch cards. One of the many wonderful women in our family who love so widely and fiercely <3 You will be missed Moni
Theresa the Obituary was Perfect
So many bits of information I never knew and Including everyone Aunt Cappy knew and loved
Mary was a lovely lady to have had the pleasure to know She enjoyed her special lunches with us choir ladies, and was always smiling. She always welcomed you as family. She will be missed. God Bless💕
