Aunt Mary was very special. She was one of a kind and the sweetest relative I’ve known. One of my fondest memories as a child was of her making blackberry pies from fresh picked blackberries my brother and I picked w/Uncle Stan. I will miss her very much. My thoughts and prayers are with Merilee, Jo Anne and my Aunt Virginia.

Much Love and sympathy,

Matt and Donna Stephens

Grandma,

I miss you so much already. I know that you are with Grandpa, Anita, and the rest of your wonderful family, and that you are at peace. I will always remember yellow roses in your garden, picking grapes on your grapevine, Sunday breakfasts in your kitchen and dancing to Polkas on the radio. We love you.

Thank you, Aunt Mary, for giving me the best summer of my entire life when I was 10 yrs. old. You and Uncle Stan were such great role models for me and my brother, Tim, as we had the opportunity to spend time where our mom, Jo, was born and raised. Those wonderful memories are with me always and I’m happy that you are now pain free, with our mom and your loved ones who have gone before you. May you enjoy eternal peace with God in heaven. Love, Tina
