I have such fond memories of my across the street neighbors. Mrs. Mary was so sweet. She wanted my children to come and see all her kittens and gave us a calico one. Her love of everything strawberry makes me smile to this day. May she rest in peace together with Mr. Gervais. Love, Beckie Quintal and Family

Mary & family,
God saw she was getting tired, so he put His arm around her and whispered come with me, her golden heart stopped beating, hard working hands to rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us He only takes the best.
