Sincerest condolences to the families of the Boyle, Quinn, and all extended cousins and relatives.
Being a lifelong Fallser, having remained in East Falls through my adulthood, I’ve been privileged to remain in the company of, and continue to share the same airspace with many of the adult leaders of the community whom I knew as a child, and then admired upon adulthood as I and my wife Jill raised our own family. Mrs Boyle defined and embodied what a Matriarch is in every sense of the word and meaning. A shining beacon of where true, solid, foundational family values are found. A testament to the family raised by her and her husband George. Mrs Boyle’s reach and influence within our community was deeply felt, both by Mrs Boyle’s contributions, and by those of her children and extended family. There’s not enough words that can be spoken which can truly describe the impact that people of character have on those they watch over, and interact with on an intimate level. And when we lose them, the impact and loss is tangible.
To Nancy, Patricia, Linda, George, Joanne, and Joe, please know that in this time of grief and reflection, that your Mom Marie and your families will be remembered in our thoughts and prayers.
Again, our deepest sympathy and sincerest condolences. Bill and Jill
