Mary the sweetest sister-in-law I could have hoped for. Jim and I always loved spending time with you, whether for dinners out, at your home for holidays, playing games at your table, and then girls day at Miss Molly’s. You were always a joy to be around and you will be truly missed by so many. I am so grateful to have known you and been a part of your beautiful family. Rest in peace, beautiful lady. My deepest sympathy to Mike, Gina, Diana, Dick, Rita, Bob and family
