I am very grateful to God for giving me the opportunity of being one of our gorgeous Mama Bear's caregivers; as we used to call her. Mama was always gracious, grateful, jovial and it's never a dull moment with her. Even in her last moment she managed to smile at our silly jokes; you are one of a kind Mama bear. I pray for God to protect and strengthen your family. We will surely miss you Mama bear. I love you, we all love you, everybody loves you; Mama bear but God loves you more. Say Hi to my Mother!

Mary, a sweet soul, a compassionate and amazing woman. She passed these traits on to her daughters. She will forever be remembered. I will miss seeing her playful updates but know that she is singing with the angels and in the arms of our heavenly Father looking down on her family, smiling.

I was so lucky to meet Paula’s and Marti’s mom, Mary, many years ago. I loved her from the beginning. I especially enjoyed the times she would join the “Lunch Bunch” on our fun trips to Lake Charles where we would have great meals together and try our luck on the slots at L’Auberge. She introduced me to a “mudslide” which was quite tasty. She was also a woman of great faith who inspired me through the tough time when I lost my son, Andrew. She handed me a worn booklet containing prayers that could help me that she just happened to have in her purse. I used it often. Dear Mary, I will miss you greatly, but what a joy it was knowing you. Now you are in the presence of Jesus. Love you, sweet lady. Fabienne and Rob Findlay
