It's been six months and still, yet, no relief from my selfish instincts to miss you so much. The holidays were not the same without you. We all missed you dearly. I hope, I pray that you are in a place of peace and tranquility far better than this earth. I also hope that you can somehow hear me.......I have so much more to share with you.....
Please know how much you are missed every single day.......

Aunty Mary was my Great Aunt. When I was younger, I will always remember on every holiday she would have at least one beanie baby for me and for my cousins. She had to wait in long, long lines and would always tell us stories about it (at the time they were very hard to get). She was so generous and always wanted to make me feel special - she even gave me a gift on my brother's Christening day because she didn't want me to feel left out. I love you and I'll miss you.

This is truly a loss of a fellow old friend, a fellow Aintabtis and so much more. Mary and I go back many, many years and with wonderful memories that will remain with me.

My deepest sympathy to the whole family.

Uncle Steve was my godfather and the love of his life was Mary. Mary was a sweet woman who continued keeping in touch after Uncle Steve's death. We will miss seeing her beautiful face. Prayers go out to the Balyosian and Baboian families.

Mary worked for my dad at DC Heath. She was always so pleasant to be around and I enjoyed her upbeat personality. We always looked forward to her homemade baklava at Christmas time!! My deepest sympathies go out to the Balyosian and Baboian familes.
