I will always have such wonderful warm memories of Aunt Mar! I never knew Grandma Slocum but my dad told me they were a lot a like. I know my dad loved his sister very much and all of us loved Aunt Mar for her zest in life! May that Slocum spirit never die! So glad I could be there at her funeral to see Uncle Ray, Jim, Linda, and your family. Take care of yourselves! All my love, aileen

Dear Krupka Family,

I cannot imagine how sad you feel and what a void in your life there is without Mar. I only hope our words and memories help remind you of the way she brightened our lives. When I think of Mar I think of her as the quinetessential happy aunt who eminated joy and love of life whenever I saw her. I think of barefeet and carefree living--an inspiration to us all to live life fully. She and Ray made quite a pair! Love and hugs to you all.

When I think of Aunt Mar, I am thankful for her big warm smile and how she shared her wonderful gift of laughter. (And of course, Uncle Ray by her side, was inspiring with his healthy lifestyle.) Although my Dad and Aunt Mar were not able to see much of each other over the past 20+ years, they always remained kindred spirits. She was a true peach and will be missed. My thoughts and prayers are with you Uncle Ray, Jimmy, Linda and your family.
With love and deepest sympathy,
