Mass Cards

This afternoon, Mom was going through some papers of her mom's cousin Rose O'Shea, and found three generations of funeral mass cards.

Mary is mom's mother's mother, Mary Coffey O'Leary. Abby is Mary's sister, Abby Coffey O'Shea, Rose's mom. And here they are in July 1917, sisters Mary and Abby:

Mary's daughter Nora died ten days before Christmas, after celebrating her fiftieth birthday and silver wedding anniversary earlier in the year. Her twins were eight years old. The remaining card is for Nora's daughter Peg.
