A Grandmother who always made me laugh. And always told me stories that would make me smile. She loved music, and was faithful to the lord. She loved to cook and provide food whether I wanted it or not. Fluffy her dog brought joy to her life. We will miss you dearly.

She sang to the Beatles, Frankie Valli, and REO
And danced without missing a beat to the radio.
She could cook up a meal in the blink of an eye
And make you laugh until you cried.
So long Mary, may God bless your soul
As you live in peace with Him, forevermore.
