So sorry to hear of my Aunt Mary’s passing. My first memory of her was at her wedding to my Uncle Lawrence. She raised my cousin Gloria as her own daughter from a very early age. RIP, Aunt Mary.
Loved my Aunt Mary. One of my fondest memories was when she married Uncle Lawrence and became a part of our family. I will always remember her for her big heart and that she was a great mother to Gloria. RIP Aunt Mary and give my love to Uncle Lawrence.
