Such a loss!I’ll never forget Aunt Mary. She used to make the most delicious breakfasts we when got to visit, as children, our cousins out on the farm.I always remember those times fondly. Diana, Lawrence, Allan and your families-you are in our thoughts and prayers. Godspeed and good rest to a sweet aunt.
Lawrence,I am very sorry to read of your mother’s passing. Mary was always kind to me,she often gave me rides to work at Cornell.I remember you, when we laugh about our passing into 9th grade,your brother Steve..,we had too much fun. Take it easy.
So sorry about your loss. She was a great lady. If anything needed please let me know. Take care all of you.
