Mary was a very special person. I've only known her for the last five years of her life but I'm so happy for her and for us that she found us. We are very privileged to be able to get to know her and have her in our family. She will be missed by so many people. RIP Our condolences to the entire family.
Mary was a special friend and she will be missed. I am shocked at her passing and saddened by her loss. She was so loved by her family and friends. I will miss her texts and emails which helped us keep in touch with the distance we lived between us. Joel, my old friend, thank you for bringing her beautiful soul into our group of teenagers so long ago. My condolences to you and to your wonderful family. Hugs!
Aunt Mary you were and are so very loved. I am so grateful for the time we had with you. I will miss your messages and talking with you. I have saved the yummy recipes you have given me and will give them to my kids to continue making your yummy food. I hope heaven is everything you dreamed of.
