Mary was like another mom to me. She gave me advice, and lectured me if I needed it. She was my travel buddy, and my friend. I will always love and cherish her.

My Mother loved her family and treasured her friends. She was sad so many went before her but felt she would see them again.
Thank everyone who loved her as much as I did.

She was my buddy. We did a lot together, and I will forever treasure those memories. During my last conversation, I think she mentioned everyone she knew, from CKMS friends to grandkids, kids, and those she considered her kids. I told her how lucky she is to have good kids. She agreed, and I then added that was a testimony to her. She raised you all to be the loving family you are. Hold on to one another.
