Mary I will always treasure the fond memories I have of you. You always had that effervescent personality that turned a frown upside down. I recall going to your home and you and Dave greeted me at the door wearing a cheese hat. I recall our secret phone calls while we planned a 40th birthday celebration for Dena. I will never forget when you took me out for a birthday lunch months after my birthday. You never had a cross word about anyone. God has another angel in heaven now, and knows that you made a difference in the life you left. You will be missed but never forgotten.

Mary, Mike and I loved you very much. I can't think of anyone with more life and happiness than you had. I loved the time that we were friends. We always felt that we were part of your family during that time. I can't think of anyone that I would rather have gone to the Coca Cola Christmas party with. Especially the year after Dave died when you won the Grench and you danced with him since Dave was gone. I loved the Halloween party you threw the first year that I knew you. I appreciated it so much when you and Dena and Alice came to Michelle's wedding. I remember the year that you were the sacred mother in the Apopka Christmas party. We went through many personal times together like the day Dave died and then when Alice died.I was proud to attend your daughter's wedding and was amazed to see how much you loved her. She had the best wedding that any girl could have ever wanted. Your whole family were truly good people so I know that you will all be together in heaven. You were a wonderful friend to me and you will be missed. and loved forever. Save a spot for us. I know that you will have a most special place .

Sam I recall that wonderful Halloween party, and of course Dena's wedding. Mary lived her life to the fullest. She certainly was a treasure and we were most fortunate to know her.
Sammy Fadley says
Yes we were.
