Not sure what to say?

Elaine, So sorry to hear about your Mother. Our Mothers were from the old school, So Special! We'll miss them for the rest of our lives.All my sympathy, Kathy

Mary will always be in my thoughts. I thank you for allowing me to spend a day a week for a year with her; I always looked forward to my time with her and getting to know her. Even with the difference in our ages, we had lots in common and a lot to talk about. She was a wonderful lady with a great sense of humor.
My thoughts and prayers are with you.
Julie Bruno

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

My heartfelt appreciation for having been a young girl and growing up with the Nielsen family, Harry and Mary were 2 of the kindest, soft spoken people I've ever known. Mary was always in a gentle mood and was never without a beautiful smile on her face. I have very fond memoriers of the home in Brush Prairie and always felt like I was "rich" when I was there...I know they are happily together again.

Mary was such a great person. We always enjoyed visiting with her and Harry when they came into the restaurant. She knew how to keep him in line! So sorry for your loss.

Grandma,
Where does someone begin to talk about someone like her .. she was very special in so many ways. We were so blessed to have been able to spend so many years with her and try to learn from her how to be a positive and forgiving person. She always had a smile on her face when you called or stopped by to visit. Unless the Mariners were losing, then she would be a little frustrated and ask why did they put that guy in to close the game he is terrible. I have so many memories of her...
