Not sure what to say?

I am so sorry to hear of Mary's passing. I have known her since first grade at St. James. Our lives have intersected over the years and we pick up where we left off and the months and years don't count. My deepest sympathy to her children and brothers and sisters. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

I knew her from her Business . A Delightful person. May she RIP Sue Willard Gr.Mich .

I knew Mary through working together at different functions at church. She always had a good sense of humor and a very strong faith. My sympathy to your family Diane Lorenski

My deep sympathies to Marcy and family. I truly enjoyed Mary's friendship through the years I worked for her at Mary's Used Furnishings. I learned much from her. She was one sweet lady. I pray her family will be comforted by God in this very painful time.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

Marcy, I am sorry to hear this. I remember her dropping us off at downtown activities. She was always was happy and so pleasant. I am so sorry for your loss.

I loved Mary's booth at Warehouse One. I purchased many pieces of jewelry and purses. Mary had a wonderful eye for good deals. I had a booth there too and she was always ready to give you a good idea about how to show your treasures. I will remember most that she always dressed good and wasn't afraid to do anything herself. My prayer to Mary's family and friends. Mary is shopping for a deal with God and she will show him how to do it. She might even get God to wear a Hawaiian shirt. R.I.P....

When thinking of Mary there are so many memories -- dad coming to get me late at night to go with him because she wasn't home on time - she was out having fun. All of the many trips: Orlando, Las Vegas, Riverside CA , Hilton Head, San Diego, etc. etc. Mary was always up for an adventure and everyone was invited. With Mary it seemed the more the merrier. Overtime the trips became fewer and fewer though we had the memories that we could relive over and over again. What a joy!! Thanks...
