When I think of Aunt Mary, what comes to mind is what a 'gracious' lady she was. She wrote beautiful letters, always remember Mom and Dad on special occasions with wonderful words and gifts. Each year at Christmas we would receive a gift of "California sunshine"-a plate of dried fruits. I especially loved the dates. It was a bit of summer each year in the middle of a Montana winter. It was always great to have our "California" cousins and Aunt and Uncle visit Montana. Your Mom, grandma, great grandma, and dear Aunt will be missed. I shall cherish always the memories of Aunt Mary. As you come together to celebrate a life lived well, may you find comfort and peace through shared memories and the love of Jesus Christ, our Savior.

Aunt Mary was one of my favorite Aunts, I always enjoyed her wonderful letters and the times we shared together. I'll always remember how we all looked forward to the Pendergraft trips to Montana and all the fun we had when you came. I'll cherish my memories forever, God be with you all, you're in my thoughts and prayers.
