Laurie and I extend our sympathies to Bob and Lester. It has been many, many years since I last saw "aunt" Mary but I still have found memories of our family visits.

Aunt Mary was a delight to know. She was always quick to smile and so happy to be in the company of her family and friends. It was my joy and honor to have her in my life. And for the record, her famous ginger cream cookies - always delivered on layers of wax paper in cookie tins were THE BEST!
My sincere condolences to her family. I am so happy that my old ice skating buddy and bicycle "envious" Uncle Lester has finally been reunited with his bride in Heaven.
