Words cannot express how much Mary meant to so many people. Sweet, caring, thoughtful, helpful, beautiful, (sometimes a little temperamental:)loved by so many.
You will be missed my dear. We will look after your boys as best as we can as we love them too. You were there for me through so much, I could never repay that support. We will miss you.
