I have known Mary for a couple of years now. She was a big part of my family. I took care of her from time to time when Ruth needed extra hands. She was always as sweet as ever and I will miss her dearly. I will also miss the laughs we had and the time we shared watching Law & Order, her favorite show. I Love You Ruth and God Bless the rest of the Family as well. I love you Mary and you will be truely missed.

Dear Ruth & family,
I enjoyed meeting Mary last year. I have also spoke to her several times over the past year. I am glad that Heather, Justin and Sean became a part of her life that brought joy to her heart. having a little one in the house gave her an extra spark of life. Ruth you have been very dedicated to your sister and you will receive a star in your crown. I just wanted you all to know I have your family in my heart, thoughts and prayers. May God bless you all!
