    My deepest condolences to the family of Mary Beth. I had the honor of being part of Bill’s treatment journey before I had to leave Delaware in 2016. I loved your mom and dad so very much, they were amazing human beings. Your mom was so genuine and always thought of others, Christmas time 2014 they both were tickled pink to bring in wrapped gifts for my new puppy. I loved showing them the video of her ripping the packages open to get her new toys. Your parents also helped me the year before with dealing with my spouse having brain surgery. I’m so very thankful to have known your mom and dad, may your memories wrap you in comfort when your hearts are hurting.

    Tina, Shelly, Holly and Lisa and all the grandchildren, How blessed you were to have MB (pet name at Dr. Conlin's office) as a mom/grandmother. Such a sweet lady she was. Although we haven't been in touch for a while, your mom will always have a special place in my heart. She was the best!

    To the family of Mary Beth Gilmore Sheing with memories of Mary Beth Gilmore as a classmate from Ursuline Academy class of 1958. We had a wonderful time together as students. When I saw Mary Beth's recent picture she had the same smile as she did in her class picture. I will keep you, her family and Mary Beth in my prayers when I attend our parish church, Saint Luke The Evangelist Church here in Raleigh, NC. I sing in the adult choir and will enjoy singing hymns in honor of a wonderful lady and friend. God's Blessings to all of you, her family. Sincerely, Ginny Gallagher Byrne
