Aunt Mary was a kind and caring woman. I am really glad that we got the opportunity to visit over this past year. She always had a lot of interesting things to talk about and she always welcomed us as if no time had ever lapsed between visits. I really enjoyed getting to know her and here about her hobbies and what was going on with her kids and grandkids. She inspired me to get my dollhouse out and start working on it again. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family during this difficult time. May God's peace be with you all.
