Mary helped me understand my crochet patterns. I enjoyed visiting with her and truly appreciated her friendship. I’ll remember her with great fondness.

To Aunt Margaret’s family,
To us, Aunt Margaret was truly a remarkable loyal and kind “TRUE LADY”.
I’m sure she had many hurts in her lifetime, but to our amazement, she was NOT a bitter person.
Personally, I’m taking a lesson to be more like her.
We’re glad that she was family!
Sincerely,
Bob and Debi
I’m sorry this condolence is so late as I have been out of town. I was the manager at Prairie Commons for 12 years. I want the family to know that I loved Mary. She was very special and seemed to have an understanding of my job. One day in particular I remember was very hard and she sent me flowers. I was so impressed she noticed. Her quiet grace will be missed. Bev Bolton
