Not sure what to say?

Our condolences to all the family. Your Neighbors,

Seeing her picture made me cry. She was an awesome beyond belief lady! I miss going over to her house and chatting. Last time I saw her she told me to call and come over more often. I'm so sad I never did. My thoughts and prayers are with you guys! Love you. Angie

Our thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

Words seem inadequate to express the sadness I feel for you and your family. Mary was such an amazing woman, I feel blessed to have known her.

My Mom worked with Mary at UPS and thought the world of her. I was fortunate to meet and speak with her over the years and remember her as a sweet and kind woman. Kathy, you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. Charlene Erway Shafer

My condolences at the loss of your mother. Mom's are sorta the glue that holds the family together; remain "stuck" together. Share your stories with each other and cherish your memories. Lord Bless-Robyn Horg

She would always make me laugh with some of her chosen words. My last visit with her was July 2010 and I...

I am so sorry to hear about Mary. I have many fond memories as a child, growing up with her as my "second mom". She would read our tea leaves and fascinate us with stories of her homeland....and yes, I do remember the one about the railroad tracks. Summer nights sitting on the front porch spitting watermelon seeds out into the front yard only to have them sprouting into plants, her garden near the alley where we would pick green beans to be used as prizes for our relay races. But what I...

And we lose yet another of our honored old gaurd. May dear Mary rest in peace with her beloved Bill and Patrick. I'am honored to have grown up with the Fitzgerald kids. From the Elms family our deepest condolances.
