Mary and her family moved from Pawleys Island, South Carolina to White Plains NY, in 1964 for better opportunities for she and her family.

Mommy,
I can't believe this time has come . We are all trying to understand and deal with missing you. It's so hard. You were the " glue" we remember everything you did for us , everything you taught us and must of all your love and concern for us . We miss that so much that it's unbearable . I never shed so many tears in my life . I don't think they will ever stop . Some of us just can't function right now , but we will stay strong for you, because you instilled that strength in us. You were tough but do living n your special way. I'm so grateful to have had you for the time I did and we did. You looked so beautiful in your white casket .with pink accents .Our beautiful non - nonsense Queen who was very loving. I would give anything to hear you say " call me when you get home " and I love you too baby" yes , I am the baby of the family and I was the miracle baby , the doctors told you I wasn't going to make it because of your age and condition, but like you always say , " They are not God.Thank you for risking everything for me mommy. You were right once again.. I am trying so hard to focus on you going home and being at peace, but I'm selfish because I wish you were hear RIGHT NOW!!! This is so hard no being able to talk to you everyday anymore!!! There was something in your " I love you " when I walked out the door that day . But a couple of hours I walked back in your door and you were in your favorite recliner as when I left but your eyes were closed , you looked so peaceful , you had transitioned right after I left. I will never understand fully but I do know , you didn't want me there when you left us. I know you still tried to protect your spoiled baby, even in death I was able to kiss your pretty face while you were still warm . I'm so appreciative of that. You were so loved ! And will always be loved!! . Can't write anymore..My heart missing a piece ..Love you mommy
