Art and family,
I’m so sorry for your loss. Mary was so lucky to have her family there with her. Like Tammy said, Grandma was the glue, she kept the family together. I didn’t do much for Mary or for very long, but what little time I did have with her, I sincerely enjoyed it. Mary was one of a kind. Very thoughtful person. I will keep you all in my prayers, and if there is anything I can do to help, let me know.
Mary loved life more than anyone I have known—and I knew her well—she was my sister, and my friend.
Tammy and family,
So sorry for your loss. May God bless you during this difficult time.
You will be greatly missed. I love you!
Shaun, Tammy, Kelly: Sorry to here about the lose of your Grandmother. I can remember how sassy and full of life she was. She will be missed.
