Remembering my aunt, my Godmother..

Words seem inadequate to express the sadness we feel about Mary's death.
She brought so many gifts to our life. We share comfort in knowing she is with her brother and sister now.
May the love of God enfolds you during your journey through grief.
We send you thoughts of comfort.
Please accept our most heartfelt sympathies for your loss…our thoughts are with you.
Like a bird singing in the rain, let grateful memories survive in time...

Our thoughts, prayers and love to all our family with Mary's passing. The last of that generation of Cotters. Charlie & Nancy Cotter
