Happy travels, Mary. Her service was the same day as Norma Winward's birthday. I found that interesting and thought Mary would think that was interesting as well. She was an amazing friend to my mother, and a friend to me when we then became neighbors. Mary was always quick to laugh, so kind and thoughtful. I have missed her has my neighbor. Rest in peace and love my friend.
Mary was a wonderful neighbor on Keller Lane. She gave her time willingly in callings in Valley View Fifth Ward and as camp president with DUP. Im glad to have known her and her children.
Grandma, I am going to miss you so much. One of my favorite memories is playing with the baby buggy at your house. Love you
Beautiful lady was your Mom. My friend, her daughter Bonnie has her own beauty.
