Mary, (a.k.a Vave) My Beautiful, Sweet, Dear Friend I'm saddened to see you leave us, but know you are now at peace, singing, laughing and walking all around Heaven with family and friends who have passed before you. No more sadness and suffering will you bare. I wish I could have had one last hug, kiss and laugh with you. Thank you for being such a wonderful Friend. I'm Blessed to have had you in my life, Mary. I will miss those out of the blue surprises and nudges at WalMart and Costco, only to turn around to find you standing there with that beautiful smile. I Love You With All My Heart.

I will miss you so very much. My deepest sympathies go out to your family. I know God will give you the comfort and peace that you seek. I am looking forward to seeing you soon my Sister, and that time it will be me nudging you with a big smile on my face!
