I’m so sorry to hear about Mary’s passing. I have many fond memories of her.
I know she is in our Savior’s arms, and reuniting with her family that is greeting her in heaven. My condolences to her entire family… Praying for comfort through our Lord, Jesus Christ.
Mary was our oldest sister and the matriarch of our family. She was always there for all of us in good times and bad. She is loved by many and will be missed by all who knew her. She is finally reunited with Peanut, (whom she missed every single day since her death in 1992), her grandson Zach, mom & dad, and so many others we’ve lost before her. Until we meet again, my sister, know that you will be missed every day and will be forever in our hearts. 💜💜💜
So sorry to hear about Mary (little Mary) as I knew her. She was always so loving and always made me smile. I know your now with so many making everyone laugh especially my mom Tera. May the lord wrap his arms around you and the family. You will be truly missed but never forgotten. Love you Little Mary…

To my dearest friends and family,
Your mother will forever live in my heart. A heart that feels broken, like yours, but a heart that has been loved by her.
A quote from Ed Sheeran’s song sums it up: “Spread your wings as you go, when God takes you back, he will sing ‘Hallelujah’, you’re home!”
Eternal peace for her!
Love to all,

We are so sorry that we did not know of Mary’s passing until today. She was a lovely person and Donald just yesterday mentioned that he was going to call her. We enjoyed talking with Mary about her family and her precious grandchildren and great grandchildren. Her beautiful smile will be missed by many.
