Our family, Our thoughts, prayers and love goes out to you all. Some of my greatest memories of Aunt Mary were those of our family reunions at the park or parties. They always started with a great big hug, kiss and hello from Aunt Mary. Then a whole day of great food, lots and lots of laughs, some hilarious games of volleyball, badminton (who brought this game?) or softball. Aunt Mary would laugh and smile and laugh and smile.. Then the day would end with exactly the same way it started, a great big hug and kiss from Aunt Mary. I will always remember her being the happiest when she was around her family and friends. I will never forget her warm and welcoming hugs or her beautiful smile. God Bless you Aunt Mary.
