To the Findley children: So sorry to hear about your mom’s passing. I have such fond memories of her and you all. She used to chuckle every time your dad referred to me as “Fish Bait”. They were part of the village that raised all of us on Victory Ave. I will pray for you all.
Love,

Aunt Mary will be missed by all of the O’Mearas
To the Findley family. She will be missed many all across the country and indeed across the globe. Auntie Mary was part of my earliest and fondest memories of childhood. No visit to Hingham was complete without seeing her. She always made me feel a part of the family, so much so that I don’t think I realized we weren’t actually related until I was in high school. She really was a special person and the world is a sadder place for her passing. My deepest sympathy for your loss.

John and Tom our thoughts and prayers are with you and the entire Findley family on the loss of your mother. Sounds like a gracious lady and wonderful mother.
God bless you both and and your families.
