Mary,
You have always reminded me of my own mother, your sister, Martha. I know you both are reunited in heaven in our lords arms. I’ll always remember your hospitality when I visited your home in Chicago so long ago. Although it’s been years since your visit in AZ it brings me peace knowing how much you were loved. What a beautiful aunt your were to me.
I love you Aunt Mary ❤

Grandma,
You are my heart and soul. You give me a push each day to tackle life one breath at a time. I miss and love you so much and there isn't a day I don't wish you were here with me. When I lost you, I also lost a piece of my heart. I lost that special bond that I will never be able to fill.
Love and miss you everyday.
Your Granddaughter
XOXO

Words cannot express the loss of Mom. Mom was the most humble and gentle person one could know. Mom, we will miss your wonderful meals which you lovingly made for the family. We will miss the moments together at home and on the many roads trips to many beautiful places. Our hearts are breaking now the we no longer have you. We thank God for the time we had on earth. We look forward to seeing you again.

Mary was a beautiful soul through and through. She had a big heart and her love of the Lord shined so brightly that everyone around her could see it! I am blessed to have met her and spent time with her and the family the last 9 years and I will never forget her! May the family be comforted during these days ahead and may Mary finally rest in peace and feel her pains no more!
