Joe and Brian I was deeply sadened to hear your mother had passed. You were indeed blessesd to have such lovely well-loved parents to teach and guide you through life. Mary would light up a room when entering in. Mary was very thoughtful and caring and I am sure her children reflect many of her attributes. May God continually bless the Wood family through out years to come. You shall always be in our heart and prayers. Love Armita

To The Family,
What a pleasure to have known Mary, Bob and the
three sons that they were so proud of.
Loved Mary because she was a true teacher and she shared so much knowledge about so many subjects.
She was also a true friend and will never be forgotten.
Condolences to all of the family. May you find the peace that she has found.
God Bless You,

I don't know Mary. I just saw her photo and her smile.
I do not mean to intrude, but for some reason, her photo seemed to jump out, and it touched me.

From her picture, it immediately became clear that she was a good person, A happy and joyful person that could have been a friend. A person who changed things by her mere presence. Please accept my condolences.

As you continue to reflect on Marys life, please remember there is only one true God, and his name can be found at Psalms chapter 83, Verse 18. He is a Spirit; you cannot see him, but he sees you. He knows your pain and sorrow, He loves you, and he wants you to love him in return.

Brian and Joey:
Please know that you are in my prayers. This journey is a difficult one but may the memories of your Mom sustain you on the road. I can still see and hear her on the sidelines of your games at St. Vincent screaming out to both of you, Go! Go! Go!
