If there is a place in heaven for special Aunts, that is where you will find our Mary, surrounded by the wonderful memories she made with her granddaughter, nieces, nephews, and neighborhood children. Mary had an open policy: the door to her home, refrigerator, and her heart, was open to all. Our family will treasure Mary's last smile, last laugh, last hug, quick wit, and our last, "l love you Mary Pat". We know the memories will not be enough. Her caring heart was broken and was a heart that could not heal. Memorials may be left to the discretion of the family.
