Dear Aunt Mary,
How can I ever thant you for all you have done for us. It came to us in many loving ways. Thank you for the joy your brought to my mother,Peggy. We are all so grateful and lovingly appreciated your friendship to her. She loved you so much and I am sure has welcomed you with open arms. Don't forget to give her the cigarettes we sent with you. Give a kiss to her and sister Mary and Tom for us. I am so sorry I was hospitalized when you left. I am sure you know I would have been by your side. You gave so much happiness to all your teacher friends,to Marsha, your family and all who knew you that you will be sorely missed. You now know that May and Janice are there with you.
We love you with all our hearts and look forward to being by your side someday. When our bodies no longer provide pleasure but pain, God gives us a way out. Death is that way. I know you are happy now and no longer lost within your own body.
I love you Mary,and please give a hug and kiss to Annie for me also.
I love and miss you, your beautiful blue eyes, contagious laugh and beautiful smile and wonderful sense of humor. Your kindness to all will never be forgotten.
Until we meet again,
Love always,
Debbie

Aunt Mary,
I am sorry I didn't get to say goodbye. I miss you already but I am happy that you are in a better place. Say hi to my Nini and Auntie Peggy for me. Take care of my kitty Gabrielle. He is yours now and I am sure you will love him. Give him a big kiss for me.I can't think of anyone I would rather him be with. I love you Aunt Mary. I will see you again someday but until then, you will be missed.

To our Aunt Mary,

I feel like I have so much to thank you for....so here I go...

Thank you for many exciting trips to sunny Florida during our cold, endless Boston winters; for my first and only piano lessons; for giving a home to so many poor little stray cats in West Roxbury; for hours of fun at the candlepin bowling alley; for being a loving aunt to my Mum, Dad, brother Brian and sister Jenny; and most of all, for being a wonderful best friend to my very special grandmother, Nina. I feel happy and comforted knowing she has you with her once again.

I love you and wish you an eternity of peace, with all of those that have gone before you and no doubt have been waiting up in heaven for you to arrive one day!

We will all miss your bright smile, your cheerful laugh, and your beautiful blue eyes, Aunt Mary. Our family will not ever forget you.

Love your great niece,
Tracy
xoxo
