Jeanne, Andrew and Paul - Hello from the Mulligans, your former neighbors from Staten Island. My mother Pat, my sister Deidre, and I extend our deepest condolences. Your mom has been so dear to mine, ever since they first met as young mothers nearly 50 years ago. I remember your mother very well; her sweet smile, and her and your father's love of playing Bridge. We hope you're comforted by the knowledge that she is now in the best of all possible worlds and pain-free. Take good care of yourselves.

Jeanne, I was sad to find out your mother passed away while I've been out. There are no words at this time that I can console you with but you are a woman of great faith and know how hard your mother struggled in the last years. I am glad you were instrumental in improving her quality of life during these hard times. God bless you and your family for all the loving work you guys did. You have found great support in your husband and that is not easy to come by. Love, Elisa
