For Mary's Family and loved ones,
I am so sorry that I was unaware of her passing. I dearly loved her and even though Wayne and I were no longer married, I would visit her when I was town. She was an amazing lady and treated my like her own daughter. I remember on Christmas one year when she gave me a box of crackers (or so I thought). I said to myself, this is a strange family, why do I need a box of crackers. Well the joke was on me. Inside that box was the most beautiful ceramic set of an old man and woman. I cherish them today and have them displayed in the bookcase in my office. She may be gone but will never be forgotten. I love you Mary.

I was sorry to hear about Aunt MaryLouise and especially sorry that I didn't get a chance to get home to see her or the rest of the family before she passed. Everytime I thought of grandma I thougth of AuntMary and others. My thoughts and prayers go out to everyone in our family. I wish I could have been there for the funeral as well. The military had me all over the world most of the time and since getting out in Jun of 03 I was given the opportunity to go back to school to finish my degree and am up here in PA attending Penn State University. I hope to be able to get home sometime soon and hopefully get the chance to see some of the family. I have enclosed my email address and my home phone is 814-943-2114 if anyone would like to reach me. Hope all is well and best wishes to everyone.

To the Blackwell Family:

Miss Mary was truly a gift, she was always a caring loving friend who will be missed deeply. I was very fortunate to have been able to have known Miss Mary. There really are not words that are worthy enough to describe this wonderful lady. To know her was to love the beautiful person that she was. Gloria and Family my thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.

Mary and I worked together at the Supply Center. We worked many weekends together when she ran keypunch. I always remember her as a kind and gentle person who would do anything to help another. My sincerest condolences to the family.
