A Tribute From Mary's Granddaughter

Mary was and always will be one of the most spectacular souls any of us will have ever encountered. Not only was she feisty, she was loving and held the world on her shoulders. She took care of all of us, no questions asked, she was our glue that helped hold us together through so tightly. She showed us how to love endlessly and fight for what believe in. Even though she may be gone physically, she will always nbe engraved on the souls she encountered while she was here.

Mary loved the color red, humming birds, her sifi doctor shows or Crime Scene Investigation. She loved having her nails painted and dressing up, even if she was going to be home all day. She always loved to go get ice-cream and watch movies at the theater, even when Grandpa would sleep through it!

She showed each of us what it was like to be loved. She was more than just a Grandmother or Mother to us, she was our light out of our darkness.
