We loved Mary so much; she truly was a very special lady with a lot of class. Her devotion to our Dad and our kids "Pop-Pop" was a gift; she surely made him laugh and smile. We will miss her dearly and think of her often.
May she rest in peace (though if we know Mary she won't be resting in Heaven at all!!) We send our love to her wonderful family. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

Nana was a very special lady who will truly be missed. When she was in a room with family, you could look around and see a little part of her in everyone. She was a present from above and that's why God shared her with use for 90 yrs. We love you Nana and you will really be missed. Watch out heaven this lady's coming to take over!
Love,
Eddie, Dawn, Tara, Kayla, Dana and Amanda Borne
