Aunt Mary was one of my favorite aunts. I can remember her big smile. She always had wonderful stories about growing up on Hendrix Street and she was always laughing. While living in Texas for a few years (back in the mid 80s) I can remember making a couple of trips down to visit Aunt Mary and Uncle Stanley. They made us feel so welcome. Aunt Mary was a caring, gentle person and when in her presence, you felt loved.

Dear Jackie, Just wanted to let you know how sorry I am to learn of your mother's death. I know you will miss her. She, like many of our parents, certainly had that longevity gene. I will be thinking of you and send prayers and love, Kathleen

I am so sorry for your loss. Mrs. Cutshall was such a dear friend of my mom's (Jacqueline Hart). We lived just down the lake from her. I spent a lot of time at their house. I loved them both so. She was such a sweet, wonderful, fun person! They both were. May she rest in peace.

She was one of my very favorite people. She gave me a painting lesson when we visited Texas. I would have been about ten years old. I can't paint, but I sure did have a good time. I still remember sitting on the front porch of Jim and Minnie's house and visiting with everyone.
