My condolences to Marys family. I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I knew Mary from when she was taking classes at Metro Community College and became good friends with her. She will be missed greatly. She was such a kind, caring, and loving person. She always had such a positive attitude and was a very determined person. I know how much she loved her grandkids Skylar and Kaileena, you both meant the world to her. She would talk about you two all the time with such love. My thoughts and prayers are with you all during this very difficult time.
