Reflecting today on the one year anniversary. If she can see us, she is so very happy to witness the past year. So many tears, thoughts, conversations have been had about Aunt Mary - she truly had a big impact on all of our lives. She was a classy lady, and we were all blessed to know her. We miss you very much !! Maryanne

Mom, Christmas has come and gone. It was the hardest Christmas Eve not spending it at your house. And Christmas morning we would come and pick you up to go to the cemetery to visit Dad. Today I went to the cemetery to visit Dad and you. It's so wrong! Nothing is the same without you. I miss my Mom and Best friend, what I wouldn't give to have more time with you. I love you!!!

I have so many fond memories of my Aunt Mary. As the holidays approach, I remember as kids going to her house on Nagle Avenue for Thanksgiving dinner. She always had a huge spread and several desserts for us to choose from. It was always like being at home - very warm and comfortable, and we always had a great time !! I think we were all very lucky to have her in our lives.

I wish Heaven had a phone so I could hear your voice again. I thought of you today, but that is nothing new. I thought about you yesterday, and days before that too. I think of you in silence, I often speak your name. All I have are memories and a picture in a frame. Your memory is a keepsake,...from which I'll never part...... God has you in his arms...I have you in my heart. What I wouldn't give for one more day with you. Love and miss you--til we meet again, Love Judie

Mary Jacobsen lived and died with dignity and grace. She was kind and thoughtful throughout her entire life. She helped me many times in my life, particularly when my own mother passed away. She taught me to keep my head high and fight through the pain. Mary Jacobsen was a class act. We were all blessed to have her in our lives. We will all miss her very much.

Grams, I miss you so much already. :( You are the most amazing person. It's impossible to find words to tell you how much you mean to me. Although I had 32 (almost 33) amazing years with you, I'd give anything for just one more day with you. Love you lots!

Mrs. Jac was always the pillar of the family, offering a friendly smile, warm words and great food at every family get together. How lucky we ALL were to have her with us for so many years. She has always inspired us and will forever be a presence in each of our hearts. Praying for you all at this time, Jacobsens!!!

I have so many fond memories of Mary but one of my all time favorites was running into her at 7 eleven buying her lottery tickets. She was always smiling, like this time was a winner
I will miss her.
Blessings to the family.
