Dear Mary. I'm so sorry to hear the loss of your mom. She was the sweetest and coolest person. When I first met her at your sister's tag sale years ago I liked her instantly. Know that I'm here for you. Love you my friend.

Cindy and family, my thoughts and prayers are with you all. I met Mary when Jacob and my two sons, Marc and Jonathan, were in after school daycare together and remained friends for many years afterwards. Though through the years friends grow and go their separate paths, memories are always with us forever. Mary had a huge heart and will be missed. RIP Mary.

My grandma was the coolest grandma you ever met. Family gatherings will never be the same without her. She could tell you a story and you felt like you were there. She made the best corn chowder you ever tasted. One time she was flagging traffic and a car almost hit her. She ran over, hit the guys car with a cone and yelled “you almost killed me!” After a minute they were hugging each-other and laughing. She was the type of person you could never be mad at. She used to tell me stories about the haunting on Lindley street and let me watch scary movies when I was little- fire in the sky gave me nightmares for years lol I love you and I miss you so much.

An invitation to be in Mary’s presence was impossible to forego. You knew what was coming. If you heard she was going, you made the extra effort because you were in anticipation of, literally, anything. A woman full of life with no annoying barriers. A breath of fresh air. She told you as she saw it. Her road was full of twists & turns but she was always up for the ride. Thank you honey for your kindness and genuine love for me, Paige, Chris & Lindsey. You always extended your hand & now you are gracefully received by the Lord’s.

to the most loving, wonderful, beautiful, eccentric, weird and slightly crazy grandmother.
there will never ever be another soul on this planet that is quite like you.
Your presence alone made an empty room feel full, the absolute biggest personality in the world.
I have loved you since birth and i will love you until my time is up and i am with you again.
You have shaped me into the human i am today, my passions, my interests, my everything is an accumulation of you.
My twin in both personality and looks.
I love you beyond words, the hole you have left is so immense but your love kindness and compassion in life will always fill it in your memory.
I miss you so much already, you are and forever will be cherished, loved and taken care of forever more.
Every single person who met you immediately adored you and you deserved every last bit of that love.
I love you, I miss you, and i cannot wait to be with you again, hear your goofy laugh, and give you the biggest of hugs.
My beautiful, amazing, perfect, grandmother,
rest in peace,
I will love you forever and ever and ever.
