Dear Family, (as I have received) My deepest sympathy for the loss of your dear One. I reflect on Mary as a beautiful, sweet, gentle lady along with her kind smile. She created these memories for me, especially when she (your family) graciously hosted me in your home as a teenager and trips to Texas! :)

Peace and comfort be with you all as you reflect on beautiful memories.

With love, Monica O. J., Texas

May your hearts be filled with wonderful memories as you celebrate a life of longevity and joyful times you had together. May God's loving kindness give you the strength you need to endure. Psalms 29:11
