Hi Sister Mary, It has taken me til now to come to your obituary and leave message.
Mary digesting your death how it happen is all too much to understand.
Your passing has left a deep, big grief of painful emotions that are runs very deep and at times unbearable to deal with.
I understand with God it was your time for you to leave us on earth as your pains, health issue you was experiencig was too much but it seems too soon for you to leave us sister Mary as well as Keith and brother Johnny and Nancy. Young in ages and trying to wrap my feelings around my head let alone the heart experiencing your passing and others before and its often really too much deal with today.
I really never had the time between each deaths to heal properly from the loss so it's been overwhelming for me and for other living love ones. With so many back to back deaths of love ones beginning with our Dad in 2019 and the deaths did not stop and continued on. We've been on a rollercoaster of negative news, passings of too many love ones; Even a few love ones up in Rockford, Illinois, so sad.
The fond memories of us I have I carry close to my heart. I member when you set me up for the dating game at the bar in
Baymeadows Florida in the 1990's. You, Mom and a few other friends attended. You signed me up as a date contestant and one it and sister Mary you was the hostess in prepping everything along with the radio station you worked with. Fun times! I will never forget fond.

I will close my message sayjng the most important, happy moments we had together was beyond what you did for me sister Mary what is even most important to me was the times we just spent together as sisters doing simple things like going to.the store, salon or sound the day at your job office where you work. Just the simplest things two sisters do together and it was great memories we talked, laugh. Together and it was easier when we lived together in the same town Jacksonville, Florida.
I miss this more than ever sister Mary and would give anything to have you back here with us love ones to be able to share these types of special moments together again.
