Mary,
I'll never forget you, my dear friend. I miss you so much. I know that the Lord is happy to have you with Him; I guess He needed another angel.
I'll never forget all the fun Dot, Chollie, you and I had when we met in Canasta all those years ago. I'm sure you're looking down from Heaven laughing at me when you watch me screw up another hand of Canasta!!
I'll treasure the "quillow" you made for me ... first time I'd ever seen one and I love it!
God bless you ... Love ... Meems

Oh, Mary, I'll miss you so much! You were a wonderful friend and I will be always so glad we met. We had so much fun with all of our crew in WR and I'll never forget the fun Dot, Chollie, you and I had when we first met in Canasta. I know you're up there in Heaven watching me screw up my moves in Canasta and getting a good laugh!
I will always treasure the "quillow" you made for me ... first time I'd ever seen one and I still love it!
Love and God bless you ... Meems

Rfie I was so shocked and sadden to hear of your passing.
Hear are some words for your family I hope they help,I do know no words can express the depths of there pain.
"Death leaves a heartache
No one can heal;
Love leaves a memory
No one can steal."
"Those we love don’t go away,
They walk beside us everyday,
Unseen, unheard, but always near,
Still loved, still missed and very dear."
Thankyou for the memories Mary
I will miss you dearly, thank you for being such a good friend.

Ralph, Stu, "Ape", we are so saddened with the loss of Mary. I know in my heart she is up in HIS Kingdom, doing what she loves doing. And now a Guardian Angel to all of the family. We shared so much, both on line and in person when we got to Lower Michigan. Forever she will be missed, and I am not sure about the type of tears I shed. Some happiness, as I know the Lord spared her, and family of something bad, and sadness no to hear her voice, and play on line games. "I miss you Mary, love you, and will see you in HIS Kingdom, this I know."

Ralph, April, Shawn & rest of family -- I am so saddened by Mary's loss. I will miss her visits to Jersey. Had many a good time chatting on line. I'm sure when Christmas comes and I put out her tree skirt she made me will surely bring back many remembrances. The Yorkie blanket she made is so special. It's such a sudden loss - she didn't suffer and she's in a better place. Love you and will miss you! (chollieduke)
