Mary I cannot believe it has been 12 years since we last saw each other. I think of you often and remember the evens spent at your house having dinner or planting flowers. RIP My friend Janet

It' s been a year since I haven't heard your voice or seen your smiling face. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't remember the time we spent together laughing, crying, shopping, eating and having tea. I will forever cheerish these memories and know that you are where you have wanted to be for a long time. Though my sorrow is great, it gives me peace to know that you are happy now. As I think of you it will bring a smile, for the memories are great and there is nothing that compares to your smile and the light in your eyes. I miss you

Mary, I've been missing you the past few yrs. since I retired from work, and I know you missed me, because you always told me I knew how to put the work in the correct order and bring it down to you. Your in a better place now and don't have to worry about others and I know your showing your beautiful smile and how tough you can be in heaven. Lots of love to your family, I'm sure they will miss you dearly.

Mary was the sweetest person. I am going to miss seeing her at work. She was always smiling. She amazed me! She may have been a tiny person, but her loss is going to leave a huge void in our lives.
With deepest sympathy for your loss,

To Mary's family, I am so sorry for your loss.
I worked with Mary at Parole. She was the sweetest person and a very hard worker. I know she missed her husband and sister. She is with them now and happy.

I know Mary is now at peace, in Heaven with her loved ones. There is going to be a void in our lives, and never will we meet another 'little ball of fire' like Mary.
God Bless her family. My sincere sympathy to you.
