You was one of my mom's closest friends and one of ours as well. You was such a sweet and caring person. I will never forget all the great memories I have with you and all the laughs we had together. I will be missing you dearly. R. I.P Mary we all love you.

Mary was a kind and gentle person. Her faith in God was strong. One time, I saw Mary on Main Street and she was upset. She told me it was because she was very concerned about a family member's health. Mary said she had been praying for that person and asked me to pray for that person too. She said, “God answers prayers and I know he will answer this one”, and then her spirits lifted. Mary loved her family and friends. I believe she is in Heaven rejoicing with Jesus! My thoughts and prayers go out to her family and friends.
