Aunt Mary loved her family deeply. She was always at the family events in Wisconsin even though she lived far away. Her arms were always open and I love how she treated me as a special niece.  I love how she loved her brother Martin, my father and continually reminded me of him after he passed. Thank you Aunt Mary for the wonderful memories. You will be remembered always.

Where do I start? During my younger days we saw each other infrequently but after my mother died, you became her surrogate.  What fun we had getting to know each other - me the "snob" and you the "crazy lady".  It took no time for us to bond and I recall some wonderful, and sometimes outlandish, outings with you.  I could print pages, as I'm sure many others could as well, however there is one my husband will never forget as he was tasked with driving the "get away" car in some farmers tomato field.  "Oh, we have permission to be here, let's just hurry", was  the instructions you gave us, as my husband hollered at you, "I don't like this, get in the car!" Your response, "Oh shut up you worry wart!"
You were here when both of my children were born, we visited you in California every few years, and you always treated me like a daughter.  I was made part of my  "California" family by you, and you kept me part of my Wisconsin family with the many trips we shared there.  I'm so sad that you are gone and will miss you terribly, but the memories of our times together will remain with me always. With great love, Treesa
