I knew Mary over the past few years and enjoyed the opportunities I had to visit with her. My thoughts and prayers are with her family.
Jessica, I’m so sorry for the loss of your Grandma. We’ll be thinking of you.
I will miss you Mom. I was your daughter-in-law but you always made me feel like family. May God’s angels carry you to heaven.
You touched many hearts and you were such a wonderful lady. You lived life to it’s fullest and had a large beautiful family. I hope to live up to those achievements one day, God only knows your shoes will be nearly impossible to fill. I love you Grandma!!
