Aunt Mary has such a special place in my heart. She was always thinking of others and hosted many very happy family occasions at her home. Birthdays, the holidays, and showers were just some of them. Aunt Mary made a beautiful flannel blanket when my son was born 44 years ago. I still remember the amazing food she lovingly prepared for family events and the fun we had at our family reunions. At 5 years old, I was the flower girl at her wedding. She was a beautiful bride and I was so impressed with her grace on that special day. I just loved to be around her. She and Tom gave me four wonderful cousins and it was a joy to see them grow up. Aunt Mary had a smile for everyone and was one of the kindest persons I have ever known. I would have liked to give her a hug before she passed away, but I know she is receiving many, many welcoming hugs up in heaven right now. God holds her in his loving arms and may this be a comfort to her family and to all who have known and loved her.
God Bless You, Aunt Mary.
