  1. My favorite memory with you is always going to be the many summers sitting on your front porch with you and your family and just talking about life and the world and what life was like when you was growing up and treating me like i was part of your life and your world and treating me like family and we have a lot of great memories with you and your family and in my heart you was like a grandma i never knew i needed or wanted in my life thank you for taking and inviting me to be part of your life and your family’s like and i am reminded of a bible verse that i see in you that inspires me and that verse is

    2 Timothy 4:7 I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.

    theses song lyrics will always remind me of you

    Here’s to the strong
    Thanks to the brave
    Don’t give up hope
    Some people change
    Against all odds
    Against the grain
    Love finds a way
    Some people change

    We say I’m sorry
    Sometimes it’s the hardest part to tell somebody
    But baby I’m sorry
    Yet I’ve been praying
    Coming from me that might sound a little bit crazy
    But I swear I’m changing

  2. Where do I start??? One of the most bravest, spectacular, best woman in the world. Not to mention, one of the best Aunts I could ever ask for! My heart goes out to each and every one of the family. 💔😢

  3. I loved Mary so very much! She was family to me and I will never forget going to home ec and 4 H with her. I can hear her voice now saying, “ now, Kelly” I’m really sad and Mary is someone I’ll never forget. Sometimes she would stop by the house just to say I love you. She was there with me during the best and worst times of my life. A true friend til the end. Everyone loved Mary because she was a beautiful person and one the world was better for having her in it. Hug your best friends—you never know when they will be gone.

  4. One of a kind Aunt. She took me to my first & only time to the “boat” & we had a blast. We even stayed at the hotel that nite. I love you Aunt Mary & you will be missed. Sister Shirley sends her love also

  5. my thoughts and prayers are with the family and thank u for treating me like family and being around your grand kids each trip to jonesville wont be the same without seeing your beautiful face
