Grandma was a Great Great Grandmother... she made it to be ... she will always be in my heart. My last elder... and I wish I had spent more time with her. I wish I could have heard more stories... grandpa had been waiting for her and now they can be together again in eternal rest... I love you grandma... never forgotten....

It wasn't that long ago that Joe talked to Mary on the phone. She will certainly be missed. We love Mary and Xavier. Loved her smile and her laugh.
