Thank you Mary for always making me feel like family. I may only be your nephew's sister-in-law, but you made me feel so welcomed and loved! And the kisses with lipstick on my cheeks, my best memory! You would undersand! I am so lucky to have known you, such a wonderful person. I will miss you so much, but I am so blessed that I did have the chance to know such an incredible woman, thank you.

I'm sorry to hear this. Even tho I didn't know her except through my work, she seemed like such a gentle and caring person. Seeing her come in to my office would brighten my day as she was such a pleasure to work with. Mary, you are one of the reasons why I enjoy my job!

It has been 3 years this month since my dear Mary left us all. At times, the tears still flow like raindrops. In my life I have never knows a more kind, cheerful, positive person with a heart of pure gold. She was instant friends with everyone she met and they always remembered her with such found memories. It is still hard to go to her grave and the newly-formed 3-year-old tears tell such a story of my devotion to this gal. Mary, I loved you more than life itself. I am sorry it was you who left. You always had so much more to give than I could every dream of. I am doing what you wanted and dating again. But my sweet wonderful Mary, their will always and forever be such a special place in my heart for you. I will see you again in the future. I will join you and all the rest of our dear departed family. And when I do, I want one of those wonderful hugs and I want to see that great smile. You forever loving husband.
