She was the most loving and caring mother and grandmother children could ever ask for. She dedicated her life to them.
Mary once wrote, “My greatest happiness and also Mike’s was family happiness. All the money in the world could not have made us any happier than a family get together laughing and joking. That is what life is all about. Without family and togetherness you haven’t lived.”
