Sorry to hear about Aunt Mary, I can remember when I was young going out to stay at her house beside Decca Records and eating the home made donuts that she would make. God Bless everyone.

Mary was a great friend to our family all of my life. As a family we spent many hours at the Marlow home and enjoyed many meals together. Mary was a great friend to my Mother. Mary has been on my mind so much recently. I think of her in December as she has a birthday which always reminds me of the birthday club and all those special times. She will always be remembered through the many throws, ornaments, scarfs, and more items she created for my Mother with such love. It was always so...
