Mary Francis, I remember how nice your Mother was when I was renting the unit behind your house on 4th Avenue. Then when you and I moved to Phoenix to go to beauty school, she came up and stayed with us for a short time. She was a wonderful person. My thoughts and prayers are with you.....Blessings to all...Daphne

My sincere condolences to Billy, Bobby and Baby Doll and their families.
I recently learned of Great Aunt Mary's passing and though my heart is heavy for you her beloved. I am joyful knowing this amazingly, bright, dedicated, driven, compassionate, generous and humorous woman graced this planet for 103 years!
I have so many fond memories of her. Her talent for keeping a beautiful home and garden while working outside the home and contributing to her community with flare and always fashionably attired. She never stopped moving, a fireball of energy always asking if you needed this or that when you payed her a visit. 

Of my fondest memories, I remember her delicious curry and pastries. I have read a couple of entries and they mention her hospitality. She always had something ready when you visited her. I felt so special to play cards with my great Aunts and it wasn't often, but when I did, I can remember Mary and her razor sharp memory and logistics. I believe in those days, I was too distracted by the laughter and her delicious food to really keep up. It was the pure pleasure of being in her home and with her.

Of all her qualities, her generous and loving heart outshines them all.

May your rest in peace and know Nana and Aunt "Ita" are setting up cards, with Aunt Coe quietly and lovingly watching.
You were such a blessing to so many.
With Love and Respect

To all of Mary's family, she exemplified being a "Channel of God's love,"  This is the best place for all of us as we journey this world.
Baby Doll, I love you!  Dolores Cano Christensen

Mary,

I remember when we worked together at Babbitt's department store and Sundays were 5-hour days and you always brought tacos with salsa for us to have on our breaks.  You were definitely a pleasure to work with and always giving advice to the young teenager working across the isle from you.  You will be missed and may you rest in peace.

Our love and prayers to all your beautiful family. You will be missed.

Our deepest condolences to the entire family. Our prayers are also with you for Mary's eternal rest. Much respect and gratitude for her love for family and friends. Her energy and affection in planning the annual family reunions will always be remembered. We were also fortunate to witness her devotion with dozens of her friends during preparations and vigil for the BIG DAY, December 12. Oscar C. Borboa's family.

One of the last times I was with you Tia Nina, we were visiting from Chicago. Nana Delia said that you had something for me. So I called and said I'd come over to visit. You sat me down and served me tamales you had saved for me! You loved us so much through your cooking. We sat and talked and I had such a special time alone with you. I will never forget that time we had together. Please continue to watch over us as you always did through your rosaries. I love you and miss you my Nina.

Mary, I think about you every Friday morning. I so much enjoyed doing your hair,you were such a good person. you always were interested in my life and gave me good advice!
Babydoll,Billy & Bobby your Mother always had such good memories of you,she spoke of you often,you know she is in Heave.

Long time family friends my father and I use to rent from Bob and Mary. We use to have long talks. Loved their Company. Tho its been years I will always remember her. Condolences to her family.

Nina
You were finally given your wings, so giving to many and close to so many of us. You were given that long life of 103 that not many people are given. That itself is amazing! You will be missed but never forgotten, we all have those beautiful memories that we can all share when we gather to celebrate your life in paradise. I'm sure my Grandma and Jay are waiting for that game of cards and Mama Coe watching nearby! 
Good Bye Nina
Love you with all my heart
Christina
