Aunt Mary was charming, witty and virtuous women. Never whinny and always optimistic. She encouraged all of us with her cheerful attitude. She could take control of a bad situation and make it all seem better.
I enjoyed my summers spent at her house. That was the one place my daddy knew I would be safe. She was a favorite aunt and sister in-law. Now she dances with the ones gone on before her. Heaven laughs with Mary and Jerry Brown cracking jokes, but serving God before anything else. Have fun my dear sweet Aunt Mary and know that some day I look forward to listening to you again.
Love LuAnn

I remember spending time with Aunt Mary and her family during the summer when I was a kid. I remember how she would “mother” me at the family reunions, and when I came home from the Marines.
