Not sure what to say?

Just got back from Cayman. Think of her (fondly called Chocolate Mary by my kids) every time I vacation there.

Dearest Kelly (Mary) You are long gone but certainly not forgotten. So many things daily remind me of our long and loving friendship. You were as sweet at 16 when we met as you were to the end. When ever I think of you (which is often) I can still feel your warmth & friendship. We look forward to meeting you and Bill again on Cloud 9 sometime in the near future. Pat 92 & Tom 94

Every time we go to Cayman we think of Mary and her kind, gentle nature. She is still missed.

We, the staff of Plantation Village, are saddened to hear of the passing of our dear friend. We enjoyed her visits to the office and often she invited us to chat with her by the pool. She was a kind, loving person. We enjoyed her chocolates and little gifts. We will cherish the fond memories and pray that God will comfort her dear family. Her soul will rest in peace.

Anne, David, and Katie,
I happened to see your mom's notice in the paper and wanted to say what happy memories I have of your mom's smiling face. God bless you all.

To all of Mary's Lovely Family,

Micheal and I wish to say how sad we felt on hearing of Mary's passing. She was our dear "across-the-street" neighbor, for many years. We could always count on a wonderful smile, from Mary, whenever our paths met. Her expressed wish, when she realized that Plan B would be enacted, was that "a lovely young family would come to live in her beloved home."

Wishing you peace and many happy memories,

Dr. and Mrs. Micheal Cwynar

I'm sorry for your loss. Rely on God Almighty to get you through this difficult time.
Psalms 62:7

Mary was my first boss when I was in high school and worked at Long Grove Confectionery with Ruth and Gert. What wonderful times we all had together. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. Heather Hirschle Cassell

Unfortunately I haven't seen Mary in a long time
but I do remember how good she was to my children,Brian and Tracy, when she was in charge of the St. Joseph school cafeteria. Brian was a friend of Michael's.
From time to time I saw her at the Long Grove Confectionery. She was always welcoming and brightened a day.
