We will forever hold Mary in our hearts. We loved her so much. She was like a third grandmother to our children. We will miss her warm and loving spirit, her gardening, her advice, her smile....She was truly one of a kind

So sorry about the loss of your mother, wife, grandmother, sibling. We are neighbors who could say hello when we saw her outside gardening. This time of year is an especially difficult time to loose a loved one. Our prayers to you all.
