I am so sorry for your loss. I have known Mary since I was a baby and she was the most wonderful woman and mother ever. It was a privilege to know her. Sending love, hugs and prayers to everyone.
We would like to say how sorry we are for the passing of your mother mary. truly she was a sweetheart in everyway.
I’m sorry to hear about Mary’s passing. Sending my prayers and thoughts to family.
I am very sorry for your loss, prayers to your family. My Mother Helen Hall and Mary were life long friends. They had a double wedding when the two couples ran off and were married. Mary’s daughter Beverly and I were friends as childern. I stayed over at your home a few nights. At meal time you had to learn gab food fast before it was gone. One of the most sadist moments of my life was listening to Mary and my Mom say goodbye to each other, as they knew it was the last time they would talk before my Mom passed. I have a picture of them on the streets of Kalamazoo just walking along arm and arm.
