Mark and Jason,

I am so very sorry for your loss. I know how special she was and how difficult this must be for both of you. Mary is in a better place now, free from pain and suffering and waiting for the day when we can all be reunited! Continue to draw strength from each other and please know that if there is anything I can ever do all you need to do is call.

Godmother, until we meet again, keep smiling down on us.

Wishing you both God's peace,
Maryann

To My Cousin Mary, I remember all laughter when you were around, be it at the farm with the whole family or you living in back of us in Tonawanda. You were surely special in many lives that you touched and walk along with, but we should always remember the one life you were more special to was God and you are now walking with him and our Savior Jesus Christ. I will miss you as long as the sun shines, but know someday I will be with you in all of God's Glory-Love and Hold You Dear David Cannizzaro

Mark, Jason, and family,
Everytime I visit my parents and look across the street and see those beautiful flowers in Mary and Mark's front yard, I smile and think of Mary fondly. Although over the past 8 years I have had only a handful of conversations with Mary I have shared a thousand exchanges of hellos with warm, friendly smiles. It is comforting to remember a beautiful face. God bless all of you during your time of grief.

Mark and Family,
AVOX(Scott Aviation) was blessed to have Mary for a short time. Every person, every child, every animal, every plant;responded to Mary's goodness. It radiated from her. To know her was most certainly to love her! I will miss her warmth and smile.

Tom Wulf

My only real relationship with Mary was in the workplace and that is where I'll miss her. She had one of the warmest smiles I've ever seen. She was the kind of person that made the day to day grind of the job a little more pleasant. Without a doubt she lived and breathed the love of Jesus and was never ashamed to talk about her faith in Him. There's a ton of people who loved her. Hopefully she knew that. She is receiving the most extreme version of REAL LOVE now.

Mr. Mark, Jason and Family,
We are sorry to hear of your loss, but remember all of the memories we have gained. Mrs. Mary was a wonderful woman and touched the lives of everyone she came in contact with. She was a great cook and gardener. Someday we will play that game of scrabble. We are only 3 doors away, let us know if we can help with anything at all. With much love, Helen, Mary and Jessica

I cant believe your gone!
Words can't express how wrong,
taken at such a young age.
You were suppose to be with me longer!
Now I must be stronger!
Stronger than ever before.
I love you with all my heart!
Now my heart breaks.
You were my world! and I yours.. .
We were one, and part of me left with you.
I cant imagine life without you.
Nothing will be the same.
In your final days as you laid in that hospital bed and I looked in those vacant yet loving and faithful eye's; in the woman who took care of me for 30 years all I saw was an innocent little girl......... ... .
I LOVE YOU MOM. . .
I will always remember your faith.
Your words will echo in my heart and mind.
And I know I wont get threw this without the Lord! I told you as you took your last breaths, "I'll be a'lright and I promise I'll see you agian!
OH! How I Love You!
Your Son.

Mark, Jason and Mickey are deepest condolences. It is still a shock that she was taken from us so fast but it is consoling to know that she is in a wonderful place where there is peace and harmony. I'm sure she will be watching over all of us as that was her caring nature. Our last evening to enjoy with her was our paws in the park at Como Park, remember Mark? Mare and Paul walking the dogs and discussing all the birds and wildlife as we tagged along. That is one of the memories of Mare, among many others, that we will carry in our hearts. May the many memories of her get you through these hard times. Our thoughts and prayers go out to all of you.

Jason & Mark, I know that your great loss will effect you forever, but be reassured that Mary is in a better place as you both know. I thank God that as this happened at this time, that I was able to be here for Mary, Jason and Mark. I am prayerful that all will be strengthened and comforted by Mary's commitment to Jesus through her struggle of leaving this world and going to a better place. Jason, as your father, I will always be there for you and you know that. Jason and Mark, seek the Lord at this time of great loss because he is there and he wants the both of you to feel his presence. Jason, keep your heart filled with your mom's memories, love and protection of you through your great loss. May God Bless Mark and Jason as she looks down on you from heaven......

Jason and Mark, Though I did not know Mary personally, I did learn some things about her from her son. He spoke very positive and loving about Mary and I am sure he will continue to maintain her strength within him as she looks down on the family. Mark, as the step father, I hope that the two of you can continue to bond in Mary's memories.
Jason, I will always be there for you if you need me and will check up on how you are doing as you are my Arizona travel "bud".
With Much Love,
Aunt Marlene

I'd like the memory of me to be a happy one.
I'd like to leave an after glow of smiles when life is done.
I'd like to leave an echo whipsering sofetly down the ways, of happy times and laughing times and bright and sunny days.
I'd like the tears of those who grieve, to dry before the sun of happy memories that I leave when life is done.

Mark, Jason, Mickey and extended family members,
Please accept my heartfelt sympathies for the loss of Mary. The world will be a different place without her warm smile and compassion. There are no words to describe the loss that we all feel, but I'm confident that Mary knew that her soul would certainly go to heaven. May God hold all of you in his arms and give you comfort in knowing that Mary is safe and at peace at his side.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Mark, Jason, Mickey-We are so sorry to hear about the loss of your beloved Mary. She put up a strong
battle against her illness, all the while keeping her faith to the Lord steadfast. She was a good neighbor-we still have her goodies that she canned, on our shelf. She had such a green thumb and we always enjoyed her flower garden. She will be missed. Our thoughts and prayers continue to be with you.
May all your memories bring you comfort in the days ahead. Know that she is always a part of you. Let us know if we can be of any help.
