What a wonderful, fun lady, that I was lucky to know. You would be so proud of your children and their families. They honored and loved you so, even now their devotion is obvious. They are a reflection of you and the life you shared with them. You will be missed, but you will all be together again and what a joyous time that will be! God Bless you.

Oh, I can remember exactly the day I met Mary O'Reilly... and I clearly saw what a Special Lady she was. My friend Matt & her were MAGIC...there was an ease between them that showed a connection not only as a Mother & Son---it was like seeing Best Friends..Soulmates...A joy that radiated because it was genuine. I always considered Matt and his Mom to be so very lucky to have what I saw & felt that day. I feel I've met some people in my life that made an imprint that shows GOODNESS...that shows a KINDNESS... That shows a Loving Good HEART & SPIRIT----She had it in SPADES..magic that makes "GOODNESS" exist in this crazy world. So today I just want to thank Mary Loretta O'Reilly for touching my life--OUR LIVES...and also Matt, Thank you for sharing your beloved Mom with me. May we all keep & share what Love & Laughter she spread ...My Sincere Condolences to all her family, Kathleen Birtel

Our sincerest condolences Matthew to you and your family. In the short amount of time that I've been working with you Ive had the pleasure of learning so much about your mother. Although I never got to actually meet her, from the stories you'd tell me I can say she was an amazing woman and mother. Heaven is rejoicing for another soul has reached its true home.

My condolences to Mary's family. I hope you can take comfort in the fact that no mother could have asked for any more love or compassion from her children, than you gave Mary. You took good care of her.
Mary's sense of humor surely spilled over onto her kids. My fondest memories, with any member of the O'Reilly clan would be a funny one. Keep smiling as you remember your sweet and funny mom...
