I am so very sorry for the loss of Mary. She was a wonderful person, and she love nothing more than to be surrounded by her loving family. She was so much fun to be around. I had a wonderful time with Mary visiting Jill in Colorado we had so many laughs she and my mom got along famously. They were like two peas in a pod with two daughters who love them more than anything. God rest her soul. She and Millie will be having a wonderful time in heaven because that's exactly where they'll be.

May the God who "binds up the brokenhearted" and "comforts all who mourn" sustain your family during this challenging time. (Isaiah 61:1,2) With heartfelt sympathy.
