My sincere condolences to all of the family. So sorry I was not aware of your loss until Thanksgiving Day when I saw Aunt Sophie. Nevertheless, I pray you will be comforted throughout the coming days. Aunt Mary was such a unique individual and I am glad God gave her such a long life on this earth. No matter to those left behind, I know--you will still miss her.

Dear Jerry and Nadine
I was very sorry to hear that your Mother had passed away. She was a sweet lady and a dear friend of my sister Alice. She will be missed especially by the back room girls. My condolences to all of you.

Dear Jerry and Nadine,
I was very sorry to hear that the last remainng "olympian poker play" died. I guess her friends up there needed another player and Mary was ready to deal. You can bet they are playing marathon poker up there and, for a change, Mary won't lose.

She was a wonderful person and I seriously enjoyed her company every time I saw her. She always had a cutsey remark to make and that is what set her apart from everyone else.
I know my Mom will be glad to see her.

Sorry,
Carol Abdullah

Dear Jerry, Nadine, Aunt Jay, and all of you. I have so many memories of Aunt Mary, growing up, I can't even begin to put them down, in writing. Aunt Mary was a wonderful neighbor and wonderful friend to our family - I spent as much time at your house, as I spent at my own. She had a great sense of humor, and a feisty spirit. Aunt Mary will be missed, my Mother has lost a dear, dear friend. My love and condolences to all of you. Kathy
