Condolences for
Alverna A. McCabe (Mekel)

My deepest condolences to you Clare, and your Mother's family and friends. She seems to have been a role model in every way, and my prayers and thoughts are with you all at this difficult time.

Laurie and I send our love and our prayers to all the McCabe Family. While we did not have the pleasure of spending time with Alverna we know with certainty how wonderful a woman, mother and matriarch she was because of our 20 year association with her daughter Clare. Clare is among the kindest, most capable and most principled people ever: surely traits encouraged by her mother and fine family. Clare's pride of her family and love for her mother was on display every day over the 20 years I have had the pleasure of working with her. To hear Clare talk about her mom, dad, brothers, sisters and life at Irish Hill is a blessing. What a wonderful family Alverna and Tom created.

So sorry for the passing of your mother. She did a fine job with the boys I know. May she rest in eternal peace.

Brendan,
I hope you and your family will find the inner strength to get through this sad and difficult time. I think that the loss of one's mother is by far the saddest event of anyone's lifetime - You have my very deepest and sincere sympathy – I think your mother's greatest legacy will be in the wonderful life she has given her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. I know you will miss her, I still miss my mom but they live in our hearts forever.

I'm so sorry to learn of the passing of Aunt Alverna. Cherish the many memories to comfort you during this difficult time.
