Aunt Mary,

You are now HOME with "your Eddie" and your Parents and Siblings that preceded you, including my Parents, Wally and Ann Marie.

You led such a full life! We will ALWAYS remember you as the one that could cry at the drop of a hat, the one whose cards in the mail were instantly recognizabe because you had spent so such much time on decorating the outside of the envelope with phrases, pictures of flowers, etc., and because you were the nucleus of the Skupien family.

For us, your life should be celebrated, honored, and emulated.

Although you will be terrribly missed and always loved, we know that you are at peace and in a better place.
