We loved Aunt Mary very dearly, she was an angel to everyone who knew and loved her. She would always make you feel special and cook a wonderful meal for you. Aunt Mary is now with the lord and we all will see her again in heaven. We will miss her very much. May God Bless all of the family.
With love,

Mary was truly a great inspiration and role model for me.These last years of us taking care of each other and just her testimony by actions has changed me forever.When I say ,"Christ,make me like You.",I could just as easily be saying "make me like Mary", and I often do. Forever Changed,
