Not sure what to say?

Aunt Mary, you will be missed. I will always remember you as a strong person both in strength and mentally. Your dedication to physical health & workout accomplishments were higher than most. You were a good capturer, and documentor of pictures. You were a good hostess. I really enjoyed our time together when I helped you pack up your condo. Mostly. You produced some really great kids. I sure wish they lived closer. You would be happy that we gathered together last night in your...

Mary was my best friend atMichigan State. I´m so sorry to hear that she has passed away. What a nice person she was!

Mrs. Namey was my 7th Grade Homeroom teacher at GR West Middle School. She was a comfort to many as we transitioned to the big scary school.

My friendship began with Mary when we were in high school and remained strong until her passing. My sincere sympathy to Ed, Kevin and their families. Mary was a warm, gentle and kind person and I will always have fond memories of her.

Mary was a great runner. I ran in a lot of races with her back in the day. She won her age group a lot.

Mary was a coworker and a friend with Bob and Nancy Scott. We have fond memories of time spent with Mary and Ed. She will be greatly missed. Bob and Nancy Scott

Mary and I became friends a South High school in 1955 and stayed all through these many years! I am sad to learn she has left this world but treasure the many memeories we shared! Rest well my dear friend!

Mary and I taught at Westwood Middle together. She was an incredible teacher. Her passion for education was so evident. I admired her running ability also. She will always stand out in my mind as such a delightful and caring person. I am grateful our paths crossed.

Hello to the family, I knew Mary and Ed years ago through education and running. She was a great lady. May you find peace in your memories of both parents. Terri Handlin, wife of the late Michael B. Handlin.
