Chuck, Jeanette and Virgie,

Aunt Mary was my family rock. She always gave a quiet, little extra gift, card or word of love to me as a child and it continued without interruption throughout my adult life with a birthday card and word of continued love. When her eyes and mind no longer recognized us, I kept our faith with my Christmas cards. I knew somewhere, somehow she would know that I never forgot. I miss her now more than ever. Our deepest sympathy and love to you all.

Dearest Chuckie, Jeanette & Virg,
Mary was the most outstanding, giving person I ever met. The happiness and friendship she gave to Joe, Jimmy and me will be remembered always. Recalling the traumas in her life, I know there is a special place for her in Heaven. My deepest sympathy to the three of you!
Lovingly,
Aunt Jan
