While I look at Mary's face, my mind flash back to so many good childhood memories. She was so much a part of who I am and who I became. I am sure she and my mom are having a great time in heaven. I miss them both. My love and peace to all the family. Mary,... go rest high on that mountain with Homer.

My heart and prayers are with the family. Mary was a kind, quiet, loving woman I looked up to and respected. When I was growing up, she was like a second mom to me. She will truly be missed because her presence made this world a much better place.
