I will miss Nana Mary so much!!! I have so many great memories that I will cherish forever. There was always laughter when I was with her. She not only made me smile, but made my stomach hurt from laughing. I love you grandma!

We are so sorry for your loss, and we grieve along with you all. It’s so hard to lose a loved one, but we’re thankful for God’s promise that ‘to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord’. We believe Mary is with the Lord and rejoicing as she meets up with old friends and loved ones who have gone on before. You will miss her, but you will see her again someday. We sure do love you guys.
