I just found out today of my Aunt Mary's passing. I will never forget her generosity of spirit and good times spent at her house when I was a kid...waking up to see her baking early morning in the kitchen and cooking dinners for the family every Sunday. I love you, Aunt Mary. Your love and kindness has forever touched my life.

I was so saddened to hear of Mary's passing. She was truly one of the most loving and caring person I have ever known. I have so many wonderful childhood memories visiting her with Mom. Not only is she an angel in Heaven, she was one here on Earth.

Heaven gained another Angel, Mary was a sweet, kind loving person. She has Angels of her own looking after her, her daughter, Mike and Karla and Jeff. May the love of family and friends that surrounds you now and freinds that be a source of comfort at this time, and may the sympathy of those who care make the sorrow of your heart less difficult to bear.
