Aunt Mary,
The things we shared goes way back. You intervened in my life at the right time. I was on the wrong road and you helped me in ways that will never be forgotten. You have family and friends waiting on you in heaven, and as much as we miss you, they will be glad to see you. I've loved you all my life. I am looking forward to sharing all the experiences I had with you while growing up with all of your kids and grandchildren. I will love and miss you forever.

Love you,
Bub, Gail & family

Jeff, Nancy & family,
It's so hard to lose someone so dear to your heart, especially during the holidays when families have more time to spend together. We are celebrating Christ's birth the best we can on earth, but Mary is in HIS PRESENCE! I know Heaven is rejoicing, and we just have to be steadfast in our faith and patience until that "glad reunion day"! Praise the Lord for another "soldier going home"! May God give you extraordinary peace during this time.

To my sister Mary,

I thank God for all the times we've had together. I'm so sorry that were sick so much but I'm glad that part is over. I look forward to the time I see you in heaven. I love you!

Debbie, Nancy & Jeff, Charlie & Sherry and Kim and all the "Grands";

I've often said that Aunt Mary was quite possibly the most selfless person that I have ever known. She has been a true inspiration and great example of what it means to be a Chistian. Please take comfort in knowing that we serve a loving and mighty God and I know that she is rejoicing with Him and those who have gone on before. I pray that you are wrapped in his arms and given the peace only He can provide.

We love you all very much, Jim and Dawn

Dear Copper Family,

We really got to know your mom(Grandmom) when we would pick her up Sunday mornings for church. She was such a pleasure to be around. Her sense of humor kept us in stitches.

She was quite a woman. I remember how beautiful she looked at church last Easter. She had a way about her that just made you want to sit with her and talk.

Adam, Seth Roger, and I will miss her dearly, but we will meet with her again one day in heaven.

Aunt Mary, I hope with all my heart that you heard the last I love you from my voice on the phone that night when you went home to be with God. We are all going to miss your reassuring voice when things were not going well with any of us. It will be alright you would say. Like I said we go back a long way. You have always been in my life. We did not see each other as often becauce of the distance between us, but We thought of you often.Rest Aunt Mary in Gods arms.

I am so thankful for the wonderful gift that you gave this world. With out it I would have never met the man that I fell in love with and married. He has been a wonderful gift in my life and I thank you for that.

You were the most amazing women I have ever had the pleasure to know. You fought a very tough battle and conquered it for many years. It is time for you to rest now. Know that your family is at peace knowing that you will never suffer again.

Rest in peace mother-in-law we love you very much.

Aunt Mary I will miss you so much. Even though our family is miles apart you have been and will forever be in my heart. Last time I saw you I just wanted to sit and hold your hand. You had the same slender hands as my mom and I felt like I was sitting there with her. I am so thankful to come from such a caring and loving family. I love you Aunt Mary.
