Our deepest sympathies to Anne, Mary Grayce, and John.

Sorry we were unable to be with you in your time of sorrow.

As my sister and cousins have mentioned we all remember Auntie Mary's Christmas holidays and Easter. We loved her baked goods and I especially remember her Easter lamb cake she prepared.
