May 21, 2025 at 8:14 pmSo sad that such a loving light like Aunt Mary is no longer in the world — But while she was here she made the world a much better place –and we’re all lucky she was in our lives. She was a joy — so loving, so fun, so smart and positive and such a good soul. She was generous to anyone who needed help. Beautiful inside and out! Aunt Mary, I love you and will miss you terribly — and will think of you often.

I’m heartbroken that my favorite aunt has passed away. She was such a bright light in my life—always kind, always listening, and always positive. I’ll never forget the way her smile would light up her face, especially when her head tilted ever so slightly with joy. She had a special way of making me feel seen and heard, whether through our visits or the letters I wrote her over the last year. I will deeply miss those moments—our conversations, her wisdom, and the warmth she brought into my life.
Her spirit will stay with me always, and I’m forever grateful for the love she gave so freely.
With love and remembrance, Brian
