I am sorry to say I just heard of Aunt Mary's passing. I haven't had contact for many years but I have many fond memories of Aunt Mary and her family on our family trips to Chicago when I was a youngster. She reminded me very much of my mother, Sadie, both in looks and loving personality. My condolences to the entire family.

The Cheslock family would just like to express our sadness at Nana's passing. We all agree she was the kindest, most caring woman we had the honor of knowing. She never had a mean thing to say about anyone and was always ready with a hug and a smile for those she loved. The world was a better place because of her, and she's going to be greatly missed. We wish we could be there in person to give our condolences, but please know that we're holding all of the Sorensen family in our hearts. We thank all of you for sharing your beloved Nana with us. Hugs

I am Stuart McLees's ex-wife. I remember Mary as an extremely happy person, with a gentle and loving attitude. I'm sure she is happy to be reunited with those who have gone before her, and will be greatly missed by those she has left behind. God bless! My sincere condolences to her family. Carol Ann Snell.
