To Nick,Barbara and Debbie ..I'm so sorry to learn of your Mom's passing. My favorite memory of "Aunt Tootsie" is whenever she saw me she would hug and squeeze me as hard as she could then kiss me and tell me how much she loved me! She had such a warm heart to this day some 50 years later , this is what instantly comes to mind when I think of "Aunt tootsie" May God comfort and Bless you.

Debbie,Barbara,Nick Jr,George,Phillip,Jim and Carol along with Husbands, children and grandchildren..Dottie and I send you our condolences over the physical loss of Tootsie (Mary). She was a dedicated Mother who served the lord all of her life. She had a strong will but that made her the Tootsie we loved. She has gone to her reward which was promised to us ...Paradise..no more pain or suffering but only Joy. I can imagine Tootsie meeting Nick Sr in this place there will be no sorrow. May GOD richly bless and comfort you.

To laugh often and much, to win the respect of the intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world. - Ralph Waldorf Emerson. My love and condolences to all. Georgie
