Mary, I was so saddened to hear about your Mom. When we met at Erica’s graduation party, she was so full of energy and talked with pride of Erika’s accomplishments and her love for your family. I now know where you got your great cooking skills! With love and sympathy, from our family to yours.

Dear Mary and Family, we know you three daughters do your Mom proud, and her legacy runs strong through all of you (and your cooking). We are sorry to hear of her passing, and the new chapter the loss of a parent leaves in life, as it is unique. We send our wishes your way. Hugs,

Our deepest sympathies to Mary, Annie, and Claire and their families. I have nothing but wonderful, fun and funny memories of Mrs. Feeney and hear her great laugh in my head every time I think of her. And can picture her shooing us out of the kitchen…..She will be missed. You are so lucky to have had such a great Mom/Nana. With love, The Farias Family

June was such a wonderful friend and neighbor to my mother, Elaine Flaherty when she lived at Ridgeland in South Portland. It was because of June that mom was able to stay at Ridgeland as long as she did. God bless you June. The Flahertys will always remember what a kind person you were.

I met June through friends in S. Portland several years ago, and was soon drawn to her. She was a fun person to be with whether at the movies, out to lunch or a small group of friends, one felt blessed to be with her. Her sincere devotion to her church, and to her family always shone through. It was a sad day for her friends when she left S. Portland. My sincere condolences to her family.
