My sincere condolences to Mary's family and friends. I enjoyed talking with Mary on Sunday just before church started, I will miss that. I know she would not mind me saying Go Bears! Prayers to all.

Aunt Mary was always nice and I loved getting her birthday cards. She loved God, her family and Aurelios Pizza. Shell be missed. Sending prayers and comforting thoughts.
