Not sure what to say?

We are still missing you our sweet Mary after all these years have passed!

Eight years has now passed since you have been gone but your smile and you still shine bright in my heart!

Mary our sweet Mary it is hard to believe that you have been gone 5 years now. It only seems like yesterday when you left us. Every time someone mentions your name I get a smile on my face remembering what a great friend that I lost. I am sure that now after 5 years God's garden has you to thank for it's beauty.

It now has been 4 years since you have passed Mary but your memory still is present in the minds of all who loved you. Anyone who ever met you has a fond memory of you. I hope you are tending God's garden and making it as beautiful as your yard was. I think of you often and as the saying goes "You are never really gone as long as there is someone who still remembers you."

We in the South County are still missing our wonderful Mary. I think of her a lot and have peace in knowing she is in the Kingdom of Heaven. We will see you again someday. Rest in peace our sweet Mary!

So sorry to hear of Mary's passing. Ken worked with Mary through the ambulance for many years. I had the privilege of working with her on the council and then as Mayor when she was village manager. She served the village with all her heart and soul and always with a smile. We have lost a
dear loving soul. Rest in peace.

Mary, you will be dearly missed in this community. May you be in the presence of
God, and rest in peace my friend.

My prayers go out to the Family, Mary was a very special person, I would talk with her daily at Speedway,she and I would exchange gardening tips, she would give me flower seeds and cuttings when she divided her plants. RIP Mary, God called you home for his special garden. Love you just like my own Mother.

I enjoyed meeting your mother when we were on the Schoolcraft Community Library Board. She was a wonderful women who loved life. Thank you for sharing her.
