(née Hogarty)

Mary, my life long pal, my sounding board, my confidant. You have always been a constant in my life. Childhood memories all include you and our carefree adventures. You were one in a million, a very special friend who I was so lucky to have in my life.
I miss you terrible everyday and always will x

Mary, it was always a joy to meet you over the last 25 + years . Even in the last few years with all your struggles you were bubbly and upbeat. Your friends miss you terribly and we will all keep you in our happy thoughts for a long time to come. Rest in Peace Mary,
You Deserve to. X

Rest easy my dearest friend Mary.

You were one in a million.

When we met in primary school who would have known we would still be friends all these years later.

I will miss your infectious smile and kind heart.

We shared so many special memories together, through good times and bad. The family holidays we had, our IVF journey, the nights out, the laughter, and all the dancing in between. I will miss ringing eachother every day for chats and catching up with all the gossip.

You will always have a place in my heart. I was so lucky to have known you. Farewell my friend. I'll miss you. Fly high sweet angel.

Dear Phil, Lottie & Hannah, deepest condolences on the loss of beloved Mary, she adored you all so much and I was privileged to call her my friend, she was such an amazing & supportive friend to me over they years and I will always have a special place in my heart for Mary.RIP my beautiful friend x

Phil, Lottie and Hannah, we are beyond sorry for the loss of Mary.
So many great memories since we performed our acting debut as a priest in a school musical 30 something years ago! The strength she had to fight for so long to stay alive shows how much she loved you all and loved life.
She is and will always be a massive hole in our friendship group and will always be remembered when we’re out together, especially if ooncing is involved! Can’t believe it’s actually real.
Thinking of you all, Cathy and Michelle x

Phil, Lottie and Hannah.
Sincere condolences on the loss of Mary. She was such a lovely person and will be very much missed. Thinking of you all at this time.

A tour de force of a lady with a love of life which has ended far too early. She leaves behind a hole which can never be filled. Treasured memories of a vivacious personality. A loving wife, mum and much loved family member she is greatly missed but never forgotten.

Phil,Lottie, Hanna, my deepest condolences on the loss of Mary. I was lucky to have known Mary over the years through her great friend Suzanne. There will always be her face before us, a voice we love to hear and her smile will always be remembered 💖 You can now Rest in Peace Mary

My dearest pal Mary, my bestie as I used to call you. Friends like you don’t come along very often. You were really someone so special and I miss you so much. The many lunches in the work canteen putting the world to rights, the “dilemmas”, the laughs, our nights out where you always persuaded me to dance even though I said I couldn’t! We didn’t know how good we had it. What special memories you’ve left with everyone who knew you.
Phil, Lottie, Hannah, Mary was one in a million and loved you, her family more than anything. We will miss her so much but the memories she left us will live on.

Phil, Lottie and Hannah
Our deepest condolences on the loss of your beloved Mary. Mary was such a good friend we'll miss her terribly. RIP x

My darling Mols, even from that first day I met you in Irish life I knew I was gaining a lifelong friend. All those teabreak chats solving world problems and always laughing. We had so much fun and I feel lucky and privileged to have had you in my life. You are one in a million and I will miss you every day for the rest of my life. Phil, Lottie and Hannah, I am so sorry for your loss. Mary was so loved. Everyone that met Mary remembers her.. She just had that way about her. I will forever be grateful that I met her that day and that we became friends. It's a huge loss for everyone. All my love, Trish or as you used to call me "Marv" xx

Mary, my heart breaks to have to say bye to my most special pal. Thank you for being my biggest supporter in life. Thank you for encouraging me and picking me up more times than you could ever know. Thank you for letting me into your world and for always reminding me how special our friendship was.

You sent me a voicenote recently saying how much you missed our happy go lucky days when we didn't have a care in the world and we planned our lives out on the 7th floor. That is how I will always remember you, and remember us. The endless chats, solving dilemmas, making plans....You knew me to my core, you took the time to really know me. I feel so lucky to have had the privilege of your friendship.

Rest in Peace my gorgeous Pal xxx

Phil…Mary was a true force of nature who nature took back far too soon. I see that same extraordinary strength and love of life she had shining out of both of your beautiful girls.

It’s so difficult to know what to say to give any comfort at such a time, so I’ll turn to the words of another, and hope they give you some reassurance that she will always be with, and within, you all.

“Do not stand at my grave and weep;
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry;
I am not there.
I did not die.”
(by Clare Harner)

My bestie Mares - brave, strong, resilient, determined, funny, caring, thoughtful. She was so many things to so many people. To me, she was family, my confidante, my ‘ride or die’. Her loss leaves a huge void and emptiness in my life that can never be filled. I will miss our chats and texts, her good advice, her hugs, her voice. I am devastated that we won’t be able to fulfill all the plans we had for the future. But it was a privilege to be her pal and by her side until the very end. She is at peace now, out of pain and reunited with her beloved Dad, Gus, and no doubt looking over us all. Mary shone too brightly in life to ever be forgotten.
Lottie and Hannah - I will always be there for you as I promised Mary I would and I will always remind you of what she was like and how much she adored you both
Until we meet again Mares. Love always, Suz x

I used to let Mary know she was the bravest person I knew . She dealt with her illness with great dignity and was never angry with the cards she was dealt. I will miss our laughs together and how she always was the one to ask me , how are you ?
To Phil and the girls I am sure Mary will live on in you guys. She adored her family greatly. I am certain I will meet her again someday . Miss you Mary always . Bren .

Bubby, Mares, my best pal. There are no words to describe how much I miss you, how I miss your laugh, your smile, your generosity, your dancing. You were always by my side from such a young age. Two peas in a pod. I still expect to receive your numerous texts every day asking me the most random things. How I miss them. I miss you bubby. Sweet dreams. I know I’ll see you again. Have a zambucca waiting for me. Love you, your waywo forever xxxx

To my godmother,
I’ll always remember how much of a fighter you were and the strength you had. I will always look up to you forever and the amazing person you were. I will miss you always and I love you x

Our dearest daughter in law Mary ( Molly) taken sadly from us too soon. so much to live for, she will be greatly missed every single day x we are totally devastated x RIP dearest girl xx Our thoughts are with Phil and our darling granddaughters xxx

My gorgeous sister in law, my sister. What can I say. Right from the start we’ve called each other Sis. We spoke every day and I can’t believe the time has come to say goodbye to such a beautiful soul. I want to say thank you for helping me to keep on fighting when I didn’t think I could. You have left the most beautiful legacy in your little girls. We will all love them and Phil and look after them for you. I love you forever my darling sister. Our time together was special with so many memories made. And although you live in heaven now, those memories will never fade. Rest well Molly Moo xxxxx

Gone but not forgotten Mary. You enriched our lives so much, just being there. Such a beautiful loving person, taken too soon, with so much to live for. We miss you every single day

I’d like to begin by thanking everyone for contributing to celebrate Marys life.

She was Molly to me, but Mary to most

Others knew her as, Mol, Bubba, Mares but regardless of how you knew her, she was the most sincere, friendly, kind, beautiful soul;

Her warmth, her integrity and above all, her love for people was unparalleled. She was a lady, had elegance, loved everyone, but loved herself too - and good on her for that.

Seeing the names here, many I know, some I don’t, but what I do know, is she touched every person in her own unique way - you were always first, always the priority - simply put……..she was wonderful.

Her biggest achievement in life, her 2, our 2, beautiful daughters.

Thank you for your focus, your drive and planning to get these 2 into our lives.

IVF is a difficult journey, a rollercoaster of kind, we were so lucky - but it wasn’t easy - but when things are easy, you don’t always appreciate it. So we know, Mary knew, the reward would be even bigger - and we have Lottie and Hannah - forever and always mum's perfect creations.

Mary, my Molly - the perfect friend, wife, mother - I will miss you, miss us forever.

We won’t say goodbye, we’ll see you again Molly - rest in peace x.

My deepest sympathies to Teresa, Mary's husband and Mary's two daughters. May she be reunited with her dad in heaven and may her gentle soul rest in peace.

I am so sorry to hear this news.
To Phil, Teresa, Lottie, Hannah & family please accept my deepest condolences.
I will always remember Mary’s big smile, an absolute pleasure to have known her.
Keeping you all in my thoughts and prayers. May Mary rest in peace x

Mary was such a fighter and always had so much positive energy. She was a huge help and positive influence for my sister Niamh, I will always remember her for that.

I am keeping you and your family in my sincere thoughts during this time.
The love and life experienced is so precious and special, and will continue to radiate for eternity.

Please accept my sincere condolenses.

Phil and family,

Please accept my sincerest condolences for your loss, I am holding you all in my thoughts at this time.
