I am so sorry to hear that Mary passed away. I am her cousin Ruby, and we are the same age, I feel she went too soon.

Mary was my cousin. She was only two years older than me and I´m sad she´s gone so soon. But she´s at peace now and not struggling in pain.
You´ll be missed by many.

Mary has been a dear friend since Jr. HS in Pirmasen Germany. We shared many adventures together. One year we went to Paris and had a great time. We spent many hours listening to the Beatles, Hermans Hermits and the Monkeys. I miss you, my friend..
