So sorry to learn of your loss. We looked it up since we did not get a Christmas card from you this year and Bob and Mary were always the very first card we got. Our prayers go with her. Bob , thank God you still have your kids about you. Hope all else is well with you. God bless. Joe and Kay Buggy

You folks have had an awfully tough week plus. We think of you and awful loss you’ve endured. We hope that your time together last weekend was soothing and healing. And we wish we did not live at the other end of the country, so that we could have been there to help honor Mary, one of the world’s treasures.

It’s me again! A P.S.

The service was beautiful today and I know Mary is walking side by side with Jesus because she had him in her heart always. Bill, I pray everyone was listening today as Mary was teaching everyone how to serve her whole life! Therefore she was a teacher and a server! God bless you all as you go forward with her watching over you all.

Love,
Cheryl and Bob

Rob,
 
Thank you for sharing this sad news with me and for still being my friend after all of these years. 
 
I have always loved your mom and dad as from my perspective, they were the prototype 60’s parents where they "guided" their children by example, with love but a firm hand.  Your mom, especially, was such a good mom and I always respected her. There was never any doubt that she was there for the three of you. I have always wondered about the miles and miles she must have traveled in order to get you all to where you needed to be.  What a saint.
 
It is unfortunate that we are beginning that part of our lives where those that mean the most to us are being taken away.  Seeing how well her children have turned out, it becomes quite obvious that she took her job seriously and should be rewarded with a resounding "well done Mary!"  She is in no doubt a far better place as she has earned her reward.

Please know that I am with you all in spirit and ask that you pass along my condolences to Bill, Linda and especially your father.  I am quite sure this is very difficult for him and will need his children more and more.  I know you will be there for him.
 
While death is a part of the cycle of life and is difficult to deal with, it is also a time for those of us that remain to rekindle our spiritual connections that makes us what we really are.  Our bodies are only a dress that we wear in this life and it is that essence/spirit/soul that gives us our purpose in this life.  Your mom’s spirit was and still is huge!  She will be greatly missed.  Thank you for thinking of me at this time in your life.  It speaks volumes as to our friendship and deeply touches my heart to be remembered and included. 
 
With great sympathy and much love,
 
Carl Mazzocco
 
PS:  Feel free to pass this along to Linda and Bill as it might give them some comfort to know that their mom had a huge impact on me as a young, outside observer and especially to know how much your mom meant to me.

Rob:  I am very sorry to hear of your mom’s passing. 

Janna and I will have all of you in our thoughts and prayers.

I will never forget a wonderful day in September, not sure of the year.  I had the honor of playing with Mary at Tanglewood on a Thursday, before the fall trip to OCMD.  I remember making some encouraging comments and she responded in a way that I am not sure I can describe.  She had one of the best days on the golf course that she could remember, I think she beat Bob as well.  She was so excited, grinning from ear to ear.

I love to teach and seeing her appreciation was ever lasting in my mind.  I will always be grateful to her for affecting my life in that way.  Although I only spent 4 hours or so with her, she seemed to be a very special lady.

Enjoy the life we have.
Your friend.
Greg

I golfed with Mary at Tanglewood and she was always so cheerful and a great person to be around.  Even when we didn’t golf well she was still smiling. What energy she had.  We will surly miss seeing her.

Mary has been such a part of my life.  When I moved down here from the Pocono’s she took me under her wing and became such a true friend to me.  When my husband died she was right there supporting me and helping me cope with this new life I had to build. I got sick last summer and Mary was there.  I knew if I ran into any trouble I could always count on her to help pull me out.  We talked on the phone quite a bit, went to lunch and just visited with each other. I am truly going to miss our relationship.

Bill & Sally Devlin and Family, our deepest condolences on the passing of you mom Bill, she was a very lovely and caring lady. Cathy and I were just talking last night the last time we saw your mom was at Seans wedding and then when we went back to the house after and we had such a nice time talking with your mom and dad at the kitchen table,she made you feel like part of the family.
Rest in peace Mary.

Dear Mr. Devlin & Family,
I write to offer my deepest sympathy in the sudden and unexpected death of Mary. Since we first met in the Emergency Room on Tuesday evening I have continued to hold you close in thought and prayer. In this time may you know the presence of our Good Shepherd who leads us through the valley of every shadow. May His folded hands cover the sorrows of your hearts. May His unfailing love bring to you the certainty of Mary’s live gone on to new life; eternal life. May His same love sustain you in this earthly walk and bring you peace.
Peace and Grace,
Tim Patterson

Dear Bob and family, our hearts go out to you in your loss of Sweet Mary, as she was referred to on Wallingford Rd.. I rounded the corner today off of Beddington and it just hit mw a gain like a punch would that she was gone! What will we do with out her? My dear friend and confidant, oh my. She watched over us all. I can hardly believe this has happened! I thought she would live to be 100 at least! You were blessed to have her as your wife, mother , grandmother and great grandma! Always a lady and beautiful inside and out! I will miss her greatly, my friend, as will our family. Our grandchildren will too.
Our deepest sympathy and love,
