Dear Mom, I want to thank you for being the best mom I could ever ask for. You showed us so much love growing up and you taught us to respect others. But my favorite, it how you taught all of us the love of Jesus Christ. You showed us how important it is to help others in need, and to pray for them when we couldn't physically help them. I praise God for the last two weeks. Even thought it was hard seeing you lay in that bed, even then, you were touching lives. All those nurses that helped you, were able to see the love you had for Jesus through us. All that you have taught us about Jesus was shown to all of them. I will miss you Mom. But I know where you are. And I know you see the face of Jesus. And I know, one day I will see you again and share in Praising our wonderful Jesus. Until that day comes...I love you Mom!! -Bobby

I am so saddened to learn of Mary's passing. She was such a sweet and gentle lady. I spoke with her and Tom just a couple of weeks ago at the hospital where we were both checking in for some tests. I told her how pretty she looked. I send my sympathy to her entire family. I am so sorry. Blessings Debbie Lawyer

Mary, thank you for allowing me at your house when I was a little kid and an awful stinker. Thank you for not telling my parents when I broke your window. You were beautiful, and you and Tom raised wonderful kids. I remember you once having a giant bag of Chips Ahoys, and I swear it was as big as a sack of dogfood. Boy, did I want cookies! You were so sweet. You saw the look in my eyes and let me have some. Whenever I eat Chip Aboys I think of that time. I remember sleeping with MaryRose in her little twin bed during a night over, and Bobby and Tommy pestering us. Jimmy was just a toddler. You guys all seemed so happy. I remember Tom coming home from the firehouse in his white uniform and his black glasses. How young we all were back then.
