Mary you were a great friend RIP my dear Mary I will miss you everyday Love you Thoughts and prayers to your family
Dearest Mary,. Your sweet warm smile and wonderful caring ways soothed and delighted all who knew you and quickly came to love you. You will forever be missed in our group of friends who met at Pannera for dinner and hours of conversation, family stories, laughter and stayed until we were told it was closing time. You lived to cook and bake and your your Italuan Anisette cookies were everyone’s favorite!
I have have chosen a white feather symbol for you. May float like a peaceful feather in the heavens. Free from the pain you endured during the end if your life.
Forever in my heart dear friend, may you be lifted into God’s grace and await us to be reunited some day.
In loving memory and eternal friendship, always. Barb
