Dear Diane, Joey and Mark,

How special your mom and grandmother was to so many. Diane, I remember her special cooking hints she frequently gave and the manner in which she explained it so you could replicate her outstanding recipes. How special Mary was to the children of the Middleborough Public Schools. For years, she dedicated her time to support struggling readers. We trusted her with our students who had not mastered the English language as she worked diligently on their vocabulary and pronounciation. Mary truly touched the lives of many and made their lives easier because of her love of Christ and her dedication to her faith to continually support others.
Diane, Joey and Mark may your fond memories of your mom and grandmother ease the loss you are now experiencing.

Diane, Joey, and Mark - Your mother was definitely a special woman full of life and energy, and enjoyed every day to its fullest. She was truly a devoted wife to your father, and after his death, she turned to you for support and companionship, which you unselfishly gave to her without hesitation. Aunt Mary definitely had a lot of spunk and truly enjoyed being with family. Whenever she visited us on a holiday, she would spend hours preparing our favorites, among them her special rice pudding. We will truly miss her presence. She loved you with every breath she took and your devotion to her needs was unwavering. I loved her spunk and sprinty ways and her little pixie face. Know that she will undoubtedly be rewarded for her faithfulness to God and His teachings. Our loss of Aunt Mary may have been sudden, but she will suffer no more. Be strong and know there is a better place for all of us and we will all meet again. Much love and warmth...

I am so sorry to hear of your mother. She was always so energetic. I remember her telling her stories about exercising at Dales' and then at the Y. I enjoyed our appointments so much.

Always remember she loved you all very much.
