Dear Mary Sue, Barbara Jean, and Ruth Anne,

Along with you, I have known and loved your Mom. I was only 12 when I first loved her. Aunt Joyce loved your Mom and Dad too. Your Mom was so right for and loving to your Dad. There has never been a more devoted family than their's. I know you will carry their love with you, all of your life. It grieves me to know that she is gone away, though I am happy she has no more pain or heartache. I look forward to seeing all of our loved ones in Heaven. I hope you all have accepted Jesus as your Savior. He is the only route to Heaven. God Bless you all. Love, Uncle Norman.

I will miss Aunt Mary even though I know she is now with Uncle Grover in heaven. I pray that God comforts all during this difficult time and replaces your sorrow with happy memories of better times. My deepest sympathies to all.

Mary Sue, Ruthie and Barb,

Aunt Mary was a special lady to me. It always brought us joy when she would giggle (which she always did). Know now that she is with Uncle Grover and they are holding hands, snuggling, smooching and laughing again. It was wonderful to be able to visit, laugh and hug her (and ya'll, Mary Sue and Dan) when Mike and I were in Arizona a couple of weeks ago. I pray that God comforts you during this difficult time and know that soon the sorrow will be replaced by wonderful happy memories.

We love ya'll,
Patti, Mike and family

Mary Sue, Ruthie and Barb,
It's so hard losing your mom and I want you to know that my thoughts are with all of you. Aunt Mary was very special. I remember all the good times I spent at your house when we were little tykes. And I remember our parents going out dancing. Those were the good old days! I take comfort in knowing that my parents are together again dancing like crazy! I think they're all up there dancing their feet off!
Take care, we love you,
Margi & Jeff and family

To all of Marys family,
Mary was like an Aunt to me, and Grover an Uncle. I loved to make Mary laugh and will always miss the sound of her laughter. They always requested that I play "The Waltz of the Angels" and the looks that they gave each other on the dance floor were a sight to behold. I'm sure they are waltzing in heaven to that song being played by the angels now, once again sharing those special loving looks. Frances and my thoughts and prayers are with you in this time of great sorrow.
Love,
Becky Mason & Frances Timms

Aunt Mary, I will miss you so much! My heart is breaking but I know that you are with Uncle Grover and you two are now complete again.
"When those we love go home we miss them and we cry.
We know that they are with friends and family.
We know that they were in pain,
we also know that they will never be again.
As mom and I say : we take it one day at a time.
We pray that God will give us the ease from our sorrow,
and help us to face a brand new tomorrow.
We are weary because they are gone,
but we are elated that they are with our Lord Jesus Christ."
May we remember all of the happy memories of Aunt Mary. I love you all my cousins.

Our hearts go out to the families of Mary Carter. Your mom is now with God. She is now at peace and she will live forever in your hearts.
In Jesus name. Amen.
Mrs. Ruthann Roberts (Gallagher) Toledo Ohio
