Hello let me start by saying that Mary was an amazing woman. I always thought of her as another sister. She would always make someone laugh no matter what kind of mood she was in. Whatever room she was in she always lit up the atmosphere with her inner liaht. She was so special and I'm going to miss her so much. And her family you couldn't ask for better kids. She was so real and the time we spent apart was agony to me. When she wasn't around there you could tell. I'm happy we all got together as much as we did. I just wish we could have more time with her. We were blessed when she was here

I know Mary because of her daughter Shyanna. My mom Noemi use to babysit Shyanna so we became close friends. Every year for Shyanna’s birthday she would throw her the best parties and always include me. Even for my own birthdays she will always take me out to celebrate. A favorite of mine was Build-a-Bear workshop and almost every year she would take me for my birthday and pay for everything and make me feel so comfortable and cared for. She was such a sweet lady with a kind heart. I have so many fond memories because of Mary ❤️ she will be missed.

And here we are on one of our journeys always so happy to hang out and travel with you. You’re the best travel buddy. I know you’re happy now Mary you’re hanging out with a lot of fabulous people up there in HEAVEN

I remember us being at Annie’s house in Laguna Beach running around like a bunch of crazy little kids and she always had a handle on us no matter what and then when you move to Eureka, you sent me a letter and said you had a dollar and I sent you a letter and said can you send me 50 and you did bless your heart And then we’ve gotten to hang out for the last 15 years pretty regularly and I cherished every moment every party ever get together every just come on let’s hang out day. This is forever life changing for me and I’m still gonna include you in  everything. I love you, Mary you will be forever missed anybody who’s ever had the blessing to meet you is already missing you ❤️

To my one and only 2nd mother, 
You will be terribly missed by my children and myself but more by your only son whom pooped rainbows and could never do no wrong in your eyes. I've known you for 27 years of my life and been apart of your family for 21 of those years and throughout all of them you've always made me feel included and accepted. I will miss you  always and keep your memories alive with my children. You will never be forgotten and you'll always be celebrated and loved.

I honestly can’t believe I’m having to do this again so soon, it hurts so much to know you’re no longer here. I like this picture of you a lot cause you look just like my mom and I like look my mom too, so in some way I feel like I’m carrying on not only your name, but your face. I miss you so much. I can’t even begin to put it into words. I’ll miss going to dinner with you and always having you offer me an adios, I deeply regret always rejecting your offer. I’d give anything to share a drink with you now. I’ll miss our conversations, you were always talking crap about someone or something and despite it all, you were so incredibly kind and generous. You let me use your Napa connections to fix my car even after you’d retired, that’s how much everyone liked you! I could show up and be like “Mary’s my grandma” and suddenly my car was fixed and running like new. If I ever needed anything I knew I could call you always. It’s been hard enough with Grandpa gone, but I hope you guys are reunited somewhere. I hope you’re with your sisters too, I know how much losing Aunt Leona hurt. I’ll never forget the endless buffets we’d go to and how you’d put cheese sauce on everything. Like seriously on everything. I’d give anything to go with you one last time, even if it grossed me out a little. I hope wherever you are, you’re resting peacefully and I hope you know that I will work my hardest to be even half as generous as you were. I’ll have your number memorized forever. Rest easy, Grandma and thank you for everything.

My dearest mother n law Mary with the biggest and most giving Heart of any one on this earth that I have ever known. Honestly you treated me like a son from the moment I started dating your daughter, you’ve treated my kids so amazingly over all the years going above & beyond for every one of my kids birthdays and Christmas’s, while never wanting anything in return. Mary you worked so hard to provide for your family, and raised my wife to be the most amazing selfless hardworking woman as well. I’m gonna miss you’re funny sense of humor, you always joking with me, random stop over’s to take us to breakfast’s & lunches. Honestly I hope you & Jerry are dancing in heaven together, young,  with no worries & no pain,  in the presence of our great Lord & maker.  You will be missed tremendously, I love you, and Bre & I both will always allow your’s & Jerries memories to live on in our lives forever. Words really can not express how much you will be missed. Once again  I love you and am so thankful for the amazing times we’ve shared together. Love your son n law  Chris.

I’ll make the coffee, you’ll make the bed. I’ll fix your lunch, and you’ll fix mine. You made me the happiest girl in the whole USA. There are no words that can truly capture how much I love you, Mom. I told you every day that I loved you, and you’d always say you loved me more. I don’t understand why you had to go—I needed you here. I don’t know what to do without you.

Thank you for everything. I am truly blessed and grateful that God chose you to be my mom. You were the most funny, generous, and giving person anyone could ever meet. Despite the rough childhood you had, you made sure that me, Breanna, and Jerry had the best childhood possible. We never went without, and you spoiled us endlessly. Thank you for always picking me up when I was down, for comforting me when I was sad, and for the countless laughs and funny stories you’d share.

I don’t know that I could ever be as strong as you were, but I’m going to try. I’m trying every day—for you, and for Dad. You gave so much to everyone around you. You deserved more—more love, more time. The only peace I find in this dark time is knowing you and Dad are back together, and that you’re no longer in pain.

Thank you, Mom, for everything. I miss you more than words can say. My love for you knows no end, and I will carry with me everything you taught me, and every ounce of love you gave me. I hope you’re giving Dad hell up there.
-love your favorite daughter Shyanna

Dear Mom,
I’m not ready for any of this. Why!! We still had so much do. We needed you to help us get through the loss of dad. I’m going to miss you so much. Going to miss your invites to breakfast so I could pay your bills. I going to miss calling you just to talk and tell you about my day. Thank you Mom for everything. Thank you for all the sacrifices. Thank you for always putting us first. Thank you for instilling in me that I could do anything. Thank you for being you. The most giving, generous person anyone knew. Thank you for spoiling us and the Grandkids.  I hope I can be just like you with my Grandkids. I will try to be as strong as you were and not fight with my brother and sister. I love you Mom you were my best friend. It’s going to be hard without you. 

Love you Mom
Breanna Shary
