Dear Albert and Family,
Light and love to you as you say goodbye to Mary. It’s been ages since I’ve seen you guys, but that has had no impact on the fun memories I have playing with Lori and Sandy in your RV when you were visiting my grandparents in Florida (Winnie and Austin).

It is will deepest condolences on the loss of your wife, mother and grandmother. Mary was a sweet lady, who I had the pleasure to call “Aunt Mary” without her even being my Aunt. She always had time to have a friendly conversation and share a few deep chuckles with. I can hear her laugh, and her sarcarsm. Mary, always told you like it was, even if you didn’t want to hear it…I have many fond memories of the sugar bush, and nine mile adventures that lead to some crazy times…Please know my thoughts and prayers are with you all at this very difficult time.
