Dear Friends,
We were saddened to read of Mary&s death. We were blessed to have known her. She was a great lady with a wonderful smile.
Sorry we cannot be with you. We are in England for the holidays visiting our older son, Todd, and his family.
Our thoughts and prayers will be with you.
With Love and care,

Mary was always with a big smile in spite of whatever was going on. It could be a tough employee to deal with about their insurance, or the fact they had not signed up for it and thought they did. It could be the tough times the company would be going through, but Mary always had good words and that beautiful smile.
Mary always looked like she had just came from the beauty shop, her hair, her cosmetics just perfect, and what ever dress she had on was perfect.
We often talked about the fact that here we had Shirley, Doris, and Mary all three married to a Brooks brother.
Most of all I remember the love she and Dave shared, the trips to see the flowers she loved so much. Then how deep that love became when he got sick, and her patience to work with him. I never heard her utter one cross word, or say anything untoward when she had to change whatever she was doing because he needed her.
Know that Mary was loved and highly respected by all of us at Grauel Enterprises Inc. for her professional discharge of every duty we asked of her.
I am at my winter home in Cape Coral Florida or I would be there.
My prayers and condolances go to you, her family.
