Memorial service for Mary Grady

Mary Grady, 1928-2017, was the missing link between the family of Martin O'Grady and Thomas, his youngest brother. If you are reading this, you should be thankful that Mary was able to connect the two branches of the family at her death, and fill in so much family history!

Thanks to Katherine for the pics:
