Mark, I just found out about Mary. I am so sorry for your loss. I met Mary in high school through my sister. Mary was such a sweet, wonderful person. I am sending you strength, comfort, and peace. I will start a Rosary for Mary today. I do not live in Chicago area and did not know we lost her. Very sorry I didn't get to her funeral. Prayers for you too.

My sincerest sympathy to you Mark, and to Mary's family. I will always remember Mary as my gateway to the world of Disney cruising, and know how many new friends I have because of you, Mark, and Mary. Rest peacefully, my friend.

So sorry to hear the news of Mary's passing, but convinced she is on a direct route to Heaven. She was always so nice & I never remember her saying an unkind word about anyone. From your friends & classmates at Ascension, God Bless you Mary. And God bless your family & closest loved ones.

Her prescense at St. Peters will so missed. She and her husband were pillars of the church. They were there every Sunday and were always interested on how my family was doing. May the good Lord welcome her in to his kingdom and may he and all the saints comfort her and her husband during their separation.
Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

Mary Pat and I were track timers together in high school, and we had a great deal of fun going to the meets and hanging out at other times. She had a great sense of humor and a fantastic sparkle in her eye. I reconnected with her in recent years when I visited the Chicago area. She shared her love for Irish food, and we had a great time at an Irish restaurant a few years ago. I was shocked and deeply saddened to hear of her passing, and I am praying for you, Mark, and your family during this most difficult time.

I was shocked to hear this news! As someone said, Mary was so upbeat, it was a pleasure to read her posts. We know she loved Disney and being Irish. She died far too young. Prayers for Mark and her family.
