I only met Mamie a couple of times but knew that i was in the company of a joyfilled woman who loved life and her family.  May she now rest in peace with her husband and loving God.  Peace and love to all the family from the Benedictine Sisters of Baltimore.  Mamie, your daughter Molly carries on your beautiful spirit.  Tricia Kirk, OSB

My parents and I thought the world of Mary Louise.  My father (Lawrence Rogers) was fortunate to have such a great cousin.  At St. Raphael the Archangel Church, I often spoke with Mary Louise after Mass, and I always enjoyed our conversations.  I'm sure that this wonderful woman will be well rewarded in Heaven.

I was Mary's nextdoor neighbor at the duplex on East Jamieson from '07 til '09.  She was such a delightful neighbor!  We shared some interesting conversations, as well as some meals together at Steak and Shake.   Later, I visited Mary at her lovely apartment in Webster at Bethesda Orchard.
I was amazed at what a great traveller Mary was - always ready to fly out to visit one of her beloved daughters.  I'm glad to find out that she got to live her last few years near all three girls, out in sunny California.
I am very sorry that I was unable to make it to the funeral Mass or visitation for Mary.
I will keep your whole family in my prayers.
With deepest sympathy,
Kathy Kilcoyne

I went to law school with Pat and met Mary when I started representing kids at juvenile court as a public defender. Mary was a compassionate person and I always knew she had the best interests of the kids at heart. Allan and I send our condolences to Pat, Michelle, and the rest of the family.

My condolences to the Connaghan family.  May the Lord bring the Connaghan family comfort during this time.  Wish I could be in St. Louis to pay my respects, but my mother, Barb (Maher) Kaelin will be there.  Rest in peace.

A wonderful, witty, compassionate lady and a great family. I first met Mary when she was assigned as a Deputy Juvenile Officer after she raised her kids-except for Molly, who was still in grade school, which made for daily adventure. I thought she'd get eaten up soon in that position. It turned out that she taught us all to live life to the fullest and have compassion for all. I quote her often and tell stories about her. My sympathy to the Connaghan family. You can rest assured her infectious laugh is lighting up Heaven.

We would like to extend our Deepest Sympathy to the Connaghan family.  You are all in our prayers and may
God watch over your family in this time of sorrow.

On behalf of the family of the late Anthony & Eileen Slay, all of whom go way back with the Connaghan's to where it all began - St. Margaret's Grade School, the church and the "ole neighborhood", we share in your sorrow and grieve for you loss. Please accept our most heartfelt sympathy and know that we will always remember your mom, just as we have your dad, and keep them in our prayers and in our conversation whenever talk turns to ". . . the days of auld lang syne."
