Granny was such a wonderful person and a big inspiration in my life. She treated me just like one of her grandkids and I will never forget all of the great times I had with the family. Her door was always open to me. She will be greatly missed but I know she is with Pap now and she is very happy!!!

What a sweet, beautiful woman! She used to see the doctor I worked for, and never failed to bring me a delicious home baked snack. I always enjoyed the days when Mary was scheduled to be seen, not just because of the treats, but because of her sweet spirit.

Mary was indeed a very good person. She was a charming woman with a good heart. I remember how giving she was. She would always bring some type of baked treat and give it to my Dad at Mass after Mom died-- so like Mary to be concerned for others. She was a gift. May your memories comfort you.

I am so sorry for all your loss, Mary was such a wonderful person. I remember spending many hours when we were younger with Patti and Mary at the kitchen table chatting and her and Bob at my house. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.
