Not sure what to say?

We only met one time - memories of that pleasure will be with me the rest of my life. God be with your family as they treasure precious memories. You are just on the other side of the door. Lovingly, Marge.

Thank you for opening our eyes for things we cannot see sometimes. It takes a special angel as yourself to make us see.

Thank you so much for all of your help. I knew that you were sick but despite it you still gave me some good advice and it has helped. I have not finished my fight and in a sense it has only begun. Thank you for all you have done and now you can sit back and watch us finish this fight. Thank you again for all you have done---you will be gratly missed!

Hi...My grandma said you guys were good friends and that you painted very well Mary.I thought I should pay tribute to you just becuase my grandma knew ou and I wanted to tell you she misses you very much!She doesnt know about this sight so she cant sign but I will sign for her.This is what she told me:You were a very wonderful women with a beautiful personality.You painted very very well!You were great to have long conversations with and sit and have coffee with in the afternoons or tea ya...

I will always remember Mary. I have two lovely paintings that she
painted and I purchased at Paintin Place about 20 years ago. She introduced me to some beautiful works of art by local painters. She was always so helpful, kind and generous. I'm sure she will be missed not only by me, but all of her family. May God bless Mary and her entire family.

Mary, you were the life of the party every New Years Eve and will always be remember by all of us. Your spirit and short stories will remain with us forever.

Mary was one of a kind. Sharp-tongued, wisecracking, cynical, tough...she never wanted you to see anything but the hard shell on the outside. But underneath that hard shell was a very caring, warm heart. Family was always very important to her and the Follett family will be poorer with her gone. They are not making women like that any more, so we 'll all have to make do without a substitute for that grand lady.

To be there with you in the end... what an incredible experience!

You will be missed.

May God bless you!

You were an amazing lady, Mary, and I will sorely miss your sharp wit and straight talk. Guys like me can only dream about being as lively, perceptive and street-smart as you were. God be with you.
