Dear LeeAnn & Nicky, John, John & Megan, TJ & Brianna and Irene,
Please accept our condolences and prayers for you all and Mary. You will miss her always, but have wonderful memories to share with each other. We found this saying that may soothe a bit of your heartache. ” Those we love don’t go away, they walk beside us every day.”

Mary and I met over 60 years ago as classmates at St. Brendan’s High School and had remained friends all these years. As teenagers, we would alternate eating at each other’s homes at least once a week. She had a wonderful family – warm and inviting. Mary was one of my bridesmaids – May 1964. After I married and moved out of Brooklyn – first to Queens then Westchester – we managed to get together at least once a year. Only last year, Mary,
Maryjo, and I celebrated our 75th birthdays together with a cruise around NYC. To the Plunkett family – your loss is mine too. So very sorry. Rose (& John)
