Aunt Mary died as she lived...a strong independent spirit. I will always respect her for this and forever carry with me her memory. She gave to me her love of life and her deep devotion to family and friends. My words fall short but my memory is long of the fun times and words of wisdom she shared with me, her niece. I have been blessed to have been able to call her my Aunt Mary. May God bless you and keep you Aunt Mary, I love you, Rhonda Carter
