Mary, was a very loving woman. She had a heart of gold.
She loved animals, home decor, being outside, most importantly her family.
Mary, was an inspiration for young women.
She dazzled, no matter where she went.
She had a smile, that could light up a room and a laugh that was contagious to all.
May, Mary be comforted by God and all her angels.
