Big hugs and Condolences to Aunt Irene, Robert, Clara, Paul and the rest of the family and Mary's friends. Glad she no longer has to have the pain and infections but know you will miss Mary very much.
I will really miss Mary and her big personality. She was always someone I looked up to and admired. Her love of the family, especially her immediate family. Her dreams for the future and looking forward and having the strength and courage to live as independently as possible which couldn't happen without the incredible support of her family. I know she is flying around without any restrictions, hanging out with her dad and other family members that have gone ahead. It will always make me smile when I think of those rides in her van on the country gravel road (as I held on tightly to my arm rest) Her time with us in CA and going to Disneyland. Mary driving cousin Kim and I around Des Moines to see the Christmas lights and going out for her favorite Red Lobster. and never ever forget dancing with you at the family weddings. See you on the other side Mary, until then you will always be in our hearts.
