Living so far away from the family has it's price. When events such as the passing of Mary occurs it leaves me haunted and powerless to do much in these times of grief, except to offer my deepest condolences to Tommy and the children who will miss her the most. I have nothing but fond memories of Mary.

MARY AND I BOWLED TOGETHER FOR THE LAST 5 YEARS. IN 2002, WE CHANGED OUR TEAM NAME TO THE "YA-YA SISTERS", CAUSE WE WERE BASICALLY LIKE SISTERS. I WAS VERY FORTUNATE TO BE PART OF MARY'S LIFE. SHE WAS ALWAYS SO INVOLVED WITH HER FAMILY, STUDENTS, THE ALSIP PARK DISTRICT, AND ANYBODY WHO NEEDED A HELPING HAND (LIKE A CERTAIN NURSING HOME). AT XMAS, SHE WAS MRS. CLAUS FOR THE LITTLE KIDS. IN THE SPRING, SHE WOULD TRY AND FIND JOBS FOR HER STUDENTS. SHE LOVED GOLF, CAMPING, HER FARM, SANDY AND GRUNT, HUNTING, THE KENTUCKY DERBY, HER XMAS VILLAGE, BUT ESPECIALLY TOM, HER KIDS AND GOING TO THE MOVIES WITH ROSIE. SHE WAS TRULY A CHRISTIAN AND A HUMANITARIAN. SHE WAS DEFINITELY A DOER, WITH AN INCREDIBLE AMOUNT OF ENERGY. I WILL MISS YOU DEARLY MY GOOD FRIEND. REST..... YOU DESERVE IT.

My heart and thoughts are with your family.



It will be the little things

that you will remember

the quiet moments, the smiles,

the laughter.

And although it may

seem hard right now,

it will be the memory

of these little things

that help to push away the pain

and bring the smiles back again.
