Tunes your mom will always be with you and your family. She’s a great lady. Lynn bob Meagan brennon send our condolences.🙏 may she rest in peace
Mary was the best! She always had a smile and a warm hello. Your family met the world to her. I’ll always remember going to your house as a kid and always feeling so welcomed. She made the best skinny pancakes around! 🙂 She was always at every game supporting you Lori and our team(s)! I’ll always remember Mary asking me about my mom too. Mary was a joy to be around and will be missed.
Bill,
I’m so sorry that the long goodbye of Alzheimer’s has afflicted your family. My dad “Bill” passed from dementia many years ago.
I pray you peace and joy in the days you have going forward, with fond memories of Mary included in them.
Tom
