Somerset Maugham wrote " If a rose at noon has lost the beauty that it had at dawn then the beauty it had was real. Nothing in this life lasts forever and we are foolish if we think that it can but we are even more foolish if we do not take delight in it while we have it. " Both Pam and I are sure that you all took delight in calling her Mom. We are both saddened with the passing of Our Lady you are in our thoughts and prayers in this time of loss.

My heart is heavy for you all. She was without a doubt one of the most remarkable people I have ever had the privilege to know. Often I have thought of how much my mom valued her friendship. She was one of very few woman my mother called friend. Please my prayers are with each and every one of you. May the angels sing as Dan & Anne are reunited again. Always together watching over their blessing still on earth. Love to you all. Denise (Carter) Cowing

I never had the pleasure of meeting her but she must have been quite a woman to produce such a great family.

It was so wonderful to be able to spend time with your Mom at Andy's retirement. There are so many happy memories that come to mind when I think back to the days on Howard Street. She was always so warm to all of us. God bless all of you as you navigate through these next few days, weeks and months without your Mom. She is at peace and reunited with your Dad. Wishing you all peace. Much love,

So sorry to hear about the loss of your dear mother. She was a sweet lady with a wonderful family!! Hope you find comfort in knowing you are all being thought of and that your dear mother now rests in God's loving hands. With heartfelt sympathy and much love, Steve and Jane Owen

Your blessed mom was a saint, and I'm so lucky to be a friend of the Duffy family. I love all of you, and send my sincere condolences. Annie Rawson, Morrison, CO

A very special lady who raised a very special family that accomplished very special things. I had the privledge of seeing her handiwork during my tenure at Rockland High School. Her legacy lives on!

I am so sorry to hear about your Mom's passing. I would see her occasionally over the years at Martin's when she would come in for breakfast. What a beautiful person she was. I have so many great memories of her from our childhood. Sending love and condolences to the entire family.

One of the nicest ladies we have ever met.Daniel and Ann's children are a tribute to their hard work and sacrifice.Rest in peace.Van Heffernan and Family

Danny, Brian, Di, Claire and Tim, Know that I am thinking about ya’ll at this trying time. I always enjoyed talking to Aunt Anne over the telephone. With my southern accent and her northern accent, it would take us a few minutes to understand each other. However, whenever I would call, she knew who it was right away - somehow. You certainly have quite a family heritage to be proud of through the Duffys and the Linskeys â€" and you have added to it. When I think of my Boston aunts and uncles, I still can see the twinkle in my father’s eye when he would speak of his sisters and brothers. Some of our fondest memories are of visiting with you on our family vacations. Your Linskey cousins from Mississippi - Georgia, Judy, Mildred and I - are grieving and celebrating with you. Your cousin and son of Fred Linskey - Andy

We send our heartfelt condolences to Duffy family, on the passing of Anne, however she now can be reunited with your father for eternity, and hopefully this will give the family, a pleasant memory for the future. Your family will remain in our thoughts and prayers,

To all the Duffy family, my deepest sympathy. Your Mom was a very strong person and together with your Dad raised 5 extraordinary children. I am honored to have known her and all of you. She won't ever be far away. Love to you all, Susan ( Murphy) Casella

Danny, Brian, Di, Claire,Timmy, I wish to express my sorrow at learning of the passing of your Mom. I remember her eyes, you know; they were nothing if not bright and thoughtful. May God bless your memories of them and her.

Our condolences go out to all of the Duffy Family, we will be thinking of you all. Sincerely, The Bussey family

Our lives are richer for having known your dear mother and her cherished family. Our sympathy and prayers are with each and every one of you. We are sure she is celebrating in heaven with your dear father. I will always remember her beautiful twinkling eyes and her gentle smile and laughter.

It is so hard to think of what to say when a part of your childhood is gone. Your mom had a great smile and I always enjoyed running into her when I visited my mom. I wish I was able to see you all. Know that my thoughts and prayers were with you that day and that I am still thinking of you. Warmest regards

To the Duffy family, so sorry to hear of your recent loss. She was a lovely lady. Our prayers and thoughts to you all at this time.
