Please accept our deepest sympathy on the passing of your mother Mary. She was such a wonderful woman. She was such an inspiration to all of us. She suffered for so many years in pain & never complained, she always had a smile and a kind word for everyone. I'm positive she was welcomed into heaven with open arms and is with all her relatives and they're having the a wonderful reunion. In time memories of her will bring a smile instead of tears.
