Hi Nana,
I miss you already and have been so tempted to come and see you at Marion Manor. You taught me a lot about life and I will never stop missing you and thinking about you. I hope you are finally at peace.

Dear Family of Auntie Mary,

Althought, I did not know your mom very well I always felt like I did because of Frannie always talking about hou much Auntie Mary meant to her and how religious she was without pushing it on other people.

You had a wonderful mother and aunt and I am sure that God opened his door and his arms for her and said, "A job well done Mary" come and watch over everyone with me.

God Speed
