Your mom was such a strong woman, a very good example for all of us. I was so glad to have been able to visit with her in August. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you. Love, Karen, Steve, Chris, Jennifer, Tom & Grace
Eileen, Although we did not have the opportunity to really get to know Margaret directly, we certainly know you Eileen, and that speaks volumes as to what a wonderful person and mother she must have been. We are thinking of you and Greg and the rest of your family.
Neighborhood picnics under the patio at O’Shaughnessey’s, Christmas Eve at the Walshes, burning fall leaves on .the lot. next to Bergeron’s, playing ball in the street in front of our houses, St. Rita School and church…the list goes on and on… those of us who grew up on Thornton Street will forever feel the pull of the memories and friendships from the old neighborhood. Hope those memories bring a smile to you all as you celebrate your mom’s life and the fun and laughs she added to our lives. (I have a funny feeling the party is already started in the Thornton St. part of heaven). Thinking of your whole family this weekend and in weeks to come.
To all of the Walshes….. Margaret was such a sweet woman who loved and spoke so much of everyone in her family. She will be missed…. Love, Meg Leubecker
Kathy, Eileen and family, It’s been many years since I last saw your Mom, but I remember her well….whether helping out at Saint Rita or letting me hitch a ride home from school when a sudden rainstorm came up. How great that you were able to be with her these past few days. Thinking of you as you celebrate her life.
I am a person who is never at a loss for words. In times like this there are very few words that can lessen your loss. Just know that you are all in my thoughts and my prayers, and I am but a phone call away. With deep regret and sorrow, Tom Limauro
Mary Ann I know it is hard to lose a parent, but you will have some fond memories and she will be with you always. You will tell friends funny stories of your mother, and share things about her also in the years to come. If she is anything like you, she must have been a delightful person. Lindsey
