Dear everyone in my family,
I don't know about you, but when I read it, it made me feel a little happier. Just knowing that she had 7 kids and 17 grandkids and 4 great-grandkids.. it's so nice to know that she had such a great and full life. It is really upsetting that shes gone, but I'm just trying to think about all she accomplished in her life, including being married for almost 65 years. She was a great person and I love her so much and will always miss her, but reading it and the other people's comments made it a little easier.

Dear Larry, Our family lived next to you on Idlehurst until 4 years ago when Mom moved to live with me in Massachusetts. I remember the vivacious, intelligent, generous and happy woman Mary was. Mom treasured her friendship. Both Mom and Dad savored the pies she shared with them. You both were wonderful neighbors. May God bless you. Nancy, Uday, Tara and Nita

Larry and Family:

I was saddened to hear of Mary's passing. I hadn't seen her in many years but I will always remember the fun times our families had together on Farringdon. Mary is now in heaven with God and her family that has gone before her. She is at peace. My thoughts, prayers and love to all of you!

Larry & Family:
So sorry to hear about Mary. She was such a wonderful person. The last time I saw Mary was a few years ago when we had lunch with my Mom & Nancy. I am so glad to have had that time to see & talk with her. I have so many memories of life on Farringdon growing up with all of you as our neighbors. The Hancovskys & the Grieshammers had so much fun together. Mary is now among the angels in the presence of God. What a wonderful place to be!! Love always.
