Mary Jean you have now graduated to the next life-stage, where I hope you will find Tom, Paul and great happiness. The times I visited you to bring you Eucharist were always special for me and are treasured memories. My sympathy to Ann, Jean Marie and Clare : you have been devoted daughters caring for Mary Jean for so long. My prayers and thoughts are with you all.
Requiescat in pace Mary Jean. Christine Paterson

We have loved having the O´Donnell family as our "drive neighbours" for 33 years. During that time, we have shared friendship and many working bees keeping things in order. It has been so comforting knowing we would always get a warm welcome and ready smile from every member of such a remarkable family. Mary Jean has been at the centre of it all, always elegant, witty, well informed and yet discreet. Our family has held a special place in our hearts for her as the years have gone by. She was genuinely interested in the world about her and was a truly beautiful and special woman. We miss her very much.
