Mary was beloved best friend. We met when I was eleven. Didn't want to call her my "oldest" and dearest friend. She wouldn't like that.She enriched and her family enriched my life in so many ways. She was beautiful inside and out. You all know my heart.
Your Mom and Dad were very special people.
Love you

Mary Kirby Suma was one of the kindest souls I've ever met, and believe, I will ever meet in my life. She loved unconditionally, blessed others freely and was an absolute pleasure to spend time with. Thank you Mark for the privilege of introducing me to such a wonderful, classy lady.
Ecclesiastes 3:1-4
There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens: a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot, a time to kill and a time to heal, a time to tear down and a time to build, a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance
Sincerely,
October 18, 2018
