Dear Victoria Scott and the rest of Grandma Mary's family, We continue to miss our "Grandma Mary", and I'm sure you must miss her more! I received a "remembrance reminder" today, but didn't need one. She was SUCH a SPECIAL person to us! Sending you and your family HUGS and LOVE!

Thank you Mrs. Shotwell! She spoke of your family often and highly! Grandma was truly a special woman and I miss her terribly but I know she is happy where she is.

MANY, many hugs to your family from ours! We will NEVER forget the 16 years of kindness and love your mom shared w/ us and were SO VERY BLESSED to have known her! She "adopted" us years ago, after the birth of our youngest child, whom she always called "her baby" and insisted he call her, "Grandma Mary", which he was truly honored to do! Not many people have the honor of meeting an angel while one is here in human form, but that was who your mom was to us (though she would deny it! ;) ) Please know we are sending you prayers, and also many thanks for sharing her with us! Sincerely, the Shotwell Family (especially Liam) (PS, we have more pics of your mom w/ Liam if you would like them)

I will always remember how much I enjoyed seeing Mary whenever I entered or left through Gate 6. That will forever be the Mary gate to me, and my condolences go out to her family and all of her extended Crew family who were touched by her loving and caring presence. She truly was a wonderful soul. Godspeed, Mary, godspeed.

If they only knew, of the Laughter & Jokes that we shared at Gates 5 & 6, then they'd know, that the Laughter is still there!! I posted on here earlier this morning, but the hurt I have, forgot to sign my name. Working with Mary, was always a Treat for me, cause she always had that Smile, & always enjoyed a Good Laugh. Our stories We shared, will never be forgotten, & I know deep down inside, that ever time I think of something we shared, that I'll still be able to Hear Ya Laugh!! My Prayers for your entire Family, & as I said before, We all know You'll be Greeting Us at those Gates Above!! You will be Truly Missed, but never Forgotten....R.I.P. my Friend
