Dear Oshirak Family,
I have not had the pleasure of meeting all of you, but I've been Blessed to have met Mary through my Best Friend, Beth S. I loved Mary with all of my heart. She was a wonderful, beautiful, caring, & compassionate woman. In my personal hardships, I knew I could visit her, call her & she Always had the time to lend me her ear & give advice and even follow up with me days later to see how things were going for me. I shared my homemade Ravioli's & Sauce with her the past couple years, & she would always call & let me know how much she enjoyed them & often offered to come help me make the next batch. She was an inspiration to me for the "beautiful person", she was. I am so very Grateful to have known her and I have many memories of her to Cherish forever. I am deeply sorry for your loss & I will keep you all, in my thought & Prayers. Mary, I will miss you very much, & I Love You.

Doreen, My heart and thoughts are with you and the family. Your mother was a wonderful person who raised a beautiful family. She always reminded me of my grandmother, who i loved very much and still think about all the time. It's a shame she had to go but we will all see her again some day in a better place.
