We will always remember Mary as a great neighbor. She would wave and a big smile covered her face each time we saw each other, not a negative bone in her body. Our thoughts are with you during this difficult time, Nancy and Ron Jones

It was a pleasure knowing Mary in the setting of my salon. She was always very stylish and of a young mind. She definitely made me laugh when certain words came out of her mouth that I was not expecting! She loved her family, as they loved her, and that is an awesome testimony to her life. Colleen Hope Punta Gorda, FL

My heart go's out to all of our family for the passing of my aunt Mary. She was a peaceful soul who put others needs first. She worked faithfully for her family and husband without demands. She had a quiet strength and presence and lived a good life. We knew this time was coming and are happy she moved peacefully to join other loved ones we miss. I hope she knows how much we loved her and are thankful for so many great moments she helped provide us with. Thank you aunt Mary we love you! Mark Felix - California
