Our deepest sympathy in the loss of a dear person. I grew up admiring her refusal to give up on life not matter how hard the times were. She was a rare person indeed, she raised her family with love and dedication.

I will miss Aunt Mary's wonderful personality. She was a very giving person who knew how to make you feel right at home every time we visited to play with the cousins when we were growing up.
