I am her niece through Uncle Pete. My father was Uncle Pete's brother. I was thrilled to get re-aquainted with her at the Slavish family reunion and you hit it on the head with your observations. She will be missed, but remember how fortunate we are because we had her in our lives. My prayers are with Ed,Jim,David and Kathy. Wendy,

God has truly blessed the Joyce/Slavish families. I remeber great memories of Aunt Mary and Uncle Pete on our visits to Pittsburgh and their visits to Pennsylvania. We were able to spend time with Aunt Mary at the funeral of our Uncle Joe and everything you wrote is what I experienced again about this truly wonderful lady. Thank you for putting into words what a truly wonderful person she was and I agree "A bright light has gone out..." Wendi, my name is Gerry Walsh and Aunt Mary was my Grandfather’s brothers daughter.

Yes, she was a glowing light and for me she still is. I'm packing my suitcase today and preparing for my flight to Honolulu for her services. A six hour flight will not be ample time to call back a life time of memories. Her love, kindness devotion to her God and her family are the hallmarks of her time with us. Her smile, wisdom and example are the gifts she gave to everyone. We will gather this week to honor her, but it's the way we live our lives that is testement to the goodness of "Aunt Mary". Again, your kind words are so very much appreciated. David, #3son It’s difficult to express the amount of gratitude I have for the beautiful comments about my mother.

She was quite a lady. It is nice to hear it from others. Her greatest joys were her faith in God and her family, and the fact that in her lifetime an Irish Catholic Democrat was elected to the White House. She grew up in an era when job seekers found signs in employment offices saying "Irish need not apply". She especially loved her 3 great grandsons, Kaimana, Iokepa and Kahiau. She was continually amazed at how a Philadelphia girl could end up watching sun rises on Kaneohe Bay in the middle of the Pacific. I hope you will visit the Slavish ohana in Hawaii someday soon. Mother enjoyed her time with the Kelly ohana. Aloha nui loa Ed Slavish Wendi,

Thank you for leaving your comment and thank you for coming here. It is nice to be able to remember Mary with those that knew her. I do remember that converstion very well. It actually stirred my blood and I had to swallow back a lump of pride in my throat when she started talking that night. I was so impressed with her passion to make the world a better place. She wasn't done contributing, not by a long shot. She was amazing! I will be thinking about you this upcoming week. Hugs. Eilleen,
