Aunt Mary
Aunt Mary was a classy lady. I will always remember how good she was. She was a woman to be admired. I couldn't come to say goodbye but I will remember you the way you laughed the last time I saw you at Mom's. Love you Aunt Mary.

I was saddened when I read of Mary's death in the paper this morning, and doubly saddened when my sister called to tell me to read the Garden City newspaper about the cause of her death. Our family wants to send our condolences in the death of your mother.
