Dear Sany & Lesa,

Your Mother was very dear to me as you know. It was a honorfor me to have her work with me at the antique shop. She was always working at something. I loved her for who she was. Keep in touch. Love, Gail & Herb Streng

Sandy and Lisa,
I am so sorry. Mary was such a good friend of my mother's. I can hear them laughing at the dining room table. I always looked forward to when she would stop at the house after her shift at Sister's. She always had a smile on her face and a story to tell. She shared her garden plants and bounty with us. We will all miss her very much and feel blessed to have known her.

Dear Sandy and Lisa,

I am so sorry for your loss.

I was very honored to have been Aunt Mary's niece.

We had so much fun together exploring Las Vegas, Green Valley and hiking in Red Rock Canyon when she visited me and Marlene with our Mom.

Aunt Mary touched so many lives. She was a precious person who lit up every room with her smile and laughter. She was loved by so many people.

I wish Marlene and I could be there with you right now.

My most sincere and deepest sympathy for the loss of your Mom and Grandmother.

Love,
Marilyn
