I remember Mrs. Mary as a very kind and giving woman. She was always kind to me as a young child when I would visit. I remember thinking she was a movie star since she was always in such great shape, walked like she was on a cloud and always resided in such a nice, large home with a well manicured lawn. As I grew, I always though of my Great Uncle Norris as one of my favorite Great Uncles and enjoyed talking with Mary and her daughters, and was unfortunately only able to visit their current home in Florida once as an adult. I had my finace' at the time during my last visit and she gave me some words of wisdom that I still remember today. Thank you Mary for being so kind to me and the wise words you've given me, despite our far to few chats. I've thought of you more than you'll ever know, and I miss you.

Woody, I wanted to tell you how much you both have meant to me all these years. Losing her is like losing a part of me, a very important part. I will always be indebted to her influence, her kindness and understanding, her patience and her love. I hope that the memories we have shared bring you laughter, tears, but most of all memories of all the good things she brought to us during her life. I can now celebrate the blessing I feel for knowing her and hope she is at peace with our Lord. I hope for you the memory of a lot of good years bringing up the girls, sharing those great cruises to all those exotic ports and most of all...the love you both had for each other so evident to all of us. She was a wonderful woman, full of grace, charm, and independece that influenced a young headstrong girl from Massachusetts to be a better person. We are better because we knew her.

My mother, my mentor, my tutor, my friend...my heart. Words can never express the emptiness in my world without your presence near me. I miss you so very much, in so many ways. I teasure the memories of our family holidays together, our fabulous vacations traveling near and far, the many girl scout activities in which you were our leader, teaching us wonderful songs and lessons never forgotten. Our shopping days and your talents for finding quality bargains, lunches with the kids, and dinners with the family. There are so many very special memories. I always knew I could come to you for guidance...for anything I ever needed or wanted to know as you were one of the most intelligent and talented people I have ever known. You always made occasions special, you had a great interest in history and the genealogy of our family, you did much research and you shared that with us in your beautiful books. You created some of the most beautiful cross-stich pieces which we will always treasure. I cannot begin to express all you have done and meant to me and how dearly you are missed...I am grateful to know that you are at peace. I know how truly hard you fought for us, your family. I know the pain you suffered and am consoled to know you suffer no longer. There are some that think I look so much like you and I find that an honor and hope to live up to the wonderful, beautiful, kind hearted lady... that I have the honor... of calling my mother.I so wish for just one more day with you.
