I will always remember my Aunt Mary for having the best laugh and sense of humor. She was always so full of joy and light.
I hope she is happy reuniting with her sister, grandparents and great grandfather.
I know she will be missed by Roy and the boys.
Sending you all hugs during this very difficult time.
