Mary was such an amazing and kind soul. Although I only met her a few times, I will always remember her kindness, her bright smile and how warm and welcoming she was to me. She always wanted to show me her latest dolls she had received and were so proud of. I wish I had gotten to know her more before I moved away from the area. Love, thoughts and prayers to Marge and the entire family.

Let me tell you a bit about my Ma, as most know we didn't meet until I was 15 because at that time in her life she believed I would have better opportunities with a different family. So until to then her I was always her Shari Lynne. I knew she was part of me the first time we hugged. From that day on she was Ma! She has been there for me ever since. I would not be the woman I am today if not for her. She's helped me be a mom, taught me not to be afraid to be me, and has been the most supportive person in my life, not to mention the best grandma Mary my so could ever have!
She will truly be missed by all! Rest in the Creator's arms peacefully my Angel Lady (IYKYK) I LOVE YOU MA

Its hard to put into words what Mary has meant to her Family and the people whose lives she has touched. When her beautiful daughter Carolyn and I got together Mary welcomed me with open arms and the Love she had for everyone. Mary was truly a remarkable lady not only to her Family but to the people she helped along the way if you are having a rough day just look up there's an Angel watching over you . Love You Carolyn & Glen

While I've only met Mrs Mary once, I knew her very well through Marge (Margaret). As I read through the obituary, I can tell all of her kind and loving qualities were passed on to her beautiful daughter Marge. I felt like I knew her because Marge has some of the same qualities, so I KNOW she will truly be missed. I pray Gods love, peace and comfort keep you during this difficult time. Turn to your faith in God, there you'll find ALL that you're looking for. He alone will fill your every need. God bless and keep you all. We're praying your strength. We love you Marge.

My dear Aunt Cookie, you have been such a loving, caring, giving, and selfless person to everyone you knew. You were always there for anyone who needed you, whether it was to lend a hand, an ear, or a shoulder to cry on. You were a big part in a lot of people's heart and I hope you know how much you were loved. I'm gonna miss you so much and I don't know what I'm going to do without you. I'll miss our talks, our words with friends games, our trips, your crazy color hair, your smiles, your laughter, your Filipino fried rice, just everything about you!!! You were the one I always turned to when I was upset or having a bad day and you were always there to pick me up! I love you with all my heart, and thank you Aunt Cookie, for loving me back
Til we meet again.
