My sister was so beautiful and energetic. She had a million dollar smile and two wonderful children. I will miss talking to her every week. I lost my best friend and will think of her every day.

I remember first meeting Mary before she married my brother, Ray. She was a little quiet at first , but then she turned out to be easy to talk to & get to know. We had some fun years, lots of laughs & became good friends. Mary had the greatest laugh. I will keep those memories with me. She will be missed.
