Still in our hearts and memories...I think about your Thanksgiving dinners, playing the piano, and talking about everything under the sun like riding mules on Moloka'i. We miss you and love you Grandma!

She is loved and missed by the generations of children whose love and kindness we will hold in our hearts forever. So glad one of her great-great-grandchildren got to see her smile before she left us for a better place. She was the ONLY person ever allowed to call me Kimmie Sue.

She truly did raise children...with love, patience and understanding. There are so many things I learned from this amazing woman and so many memories that I will carry in my heart of her. I hope she knew how many lives she touched and made a difference in. She will be missed.

I really enjoyed the time I was blessed spending with Mary at the retirement home where she resided and I worked. She was always such a sweet person. I wish I could have had more time to visit with her.
May you rest in peace Mary.
