Thank you for sharing the great photos.  I can tell that Aunt Mary enjoyed California and spending time with you.  Time and love are the greatest gifts that kids can give to parents.  She will be welcomed by a cast of many (my dad, my mom, and my grandma, just to name a few) and they will be having a party up in heaven.  Your mom had a life well lived and that is something to celebrate!  Love, Joy & Lisa  -  Take care!  Losing someone so special is so difficult and it is a process.  It's taken me over a decade to get to where I am and it may take the rest of my life because love never ends.

Really nice remembrance of Mary....Thanks Dani 
From Dave

Aunt Mary was such a kind, loving person. If you close your eyes you can hear her wonderful laugh. The old pictures of the house in Worth and the pictures of those already gone, bring back such beautiful memories. So happy for Diane who was able to spend these years with her.  Diane we are very, very sorry for your loss.    Mike and Gi Wallin.

Mary was such a beautiful soul, always smiling and so happy to be with her daughters and friends. She was a cherished member of the Vintage Vamps, a Novato chapter of the Red Hat Society. We loved her dearly and will miss her. Blessings and much love to Diane and Dani Marie.

This is a lovely slide show of Mary, her girls and friend. Thank you, Joyce

I first met Mary in 2012 at Rickey's Restaurant in Novato.  We were celebrating our Red Hat, Vintage Vamps Anniversary. Mary and I hit it off right away as we are both Chicago Gals and had many memories to share. She knew she was well loved and cared for by her daughter Diane and Dani Marie. She lives happily ever after in the arms of God.

Diane and Dani Marie I am so sorry for your loss. I enjoyed meeting your Mom at Red Hat events. She is a lovely lady .
