    My sincerest condolences to the family. As Mary’s cousin I remember her with love and memories. Mary and I hung out at family get-togethers since we were the same age. We always had a great time together. In recent years we had the chance to connect around Christmas’s. She will be missed. Xxx. Ooo. Ellen

    We are so very sorry to hear of Mary’s passing. She was so wonderful, creative, kind, witty and sage…and so very beautiful inside and out. We feel so honored to have such wonderful memories of time together with her & your whole family.
    We will always remember the light she brought into any room, that relaxed classy drawl as she spoke, her love and support for her whole family and her easy laugh.

    There are so few words to express how we are feeling for your family right now. May the Lord bless you and wrap His love around you. Our very deepest sympathy.

    Shannon, Kelley, Tara, Courtney, Greg, Margaret and Elizabeth xoxo
