Mary was not only my Grandmother, but asecond other to me. She was there to guide me during the most difficult decisions of my life. I had the great honor to live with her the past few months and they were the happiest of my life. I wil miss you gram, but I know you are in my heart and over my shoulder. Godbye "Mare".

I remember the great times we all had at Mary's home. I so enjoyed sharing e-mails with her, and the Valentine that arrived this year will find a special place in my Bible. I'm glad she's at peace.

Gram B.,
Had a heart of Gold, hugs that would take away the world. She was always pleasant even when her health was failing. Her love was/is her Valentine and the rest of her family. She will be missed tremendously! Plant a "Rose of Sharon" Bush in your yard in rememberance.
Gram... enjoy the time with your Valentine.
Love,
Your Grandchildren and Great Grandchildren

We will miss Aunt Mary so much and she will always be remembered for her homemade strawberry jam.
She was so thoughtful and always remembered to send us special homemade cards for all holidays and special occasions.
We will miss you greatly but know you are happy to now be with Uncle B, Uncle Carl, Mom and Billy.
