Love to all the family
Mary touched many lives. I always felt I had a big sister and best friend growing up. Fond memories of all the fun we had together as a family and in school together. Mary’s smile always made you feel good. It was fun to hear about her family and those special moments about the grandkids. I will miss the many phone calls we had together.
Thoughts, prayers and hugs for all of you
