I will always cherish the memories of accompanying my dad on his Saturday errands, which always included stopping to visit Aunt Mary. Dad would just open the door, sometimes while knocking, but often without a knock, and we'd walk in and be warmly welcomed by Aunt Mary, and Uncle Tommy, despite coming in unannounced! We all always felt lovingly welcome and Aunt Mary, you will be missed!

Aunt Mary you will be missed with all my heart!! All the great times at Silver Lake! The hugs and laughs, the time you tried to piece my ears with a needle and ice cube! ( I chickened out) And all the love that encompassed me when you and your family were together. You will always be a big part of my life growing up! You will always be remembered and never ever forgotten!My love and condolence to all of you!

Love Margee

PS take care of Matt for me
