As a kid, visiting relatives sometimes can seem painful. But not with Aunt Mary and Uncle Winnie. The two of them had a wonderful sense of humor and always made us laugh. Aunt Mary was also someone who was truly nice to us kids and cared about what you had to say. Also, like my sister said, Mentor did seem awfully far to go in those days. But when you got there, it was worth it.

I was saddened to learn of the death of Aunt Mary. There are two things that I remember from visiting her and Uncle “Winnie” when I was a kid: that Mentor seemed so far away and that those two always made us laugh! My sympathies to Allen, Wendy, and Linda (and their families).

Aunt Mary joined our family in the late 40’s when she married Uncle Vince. Tall and glamorous, she quickly became our favorite. She had a mischievous sense of humor that expressed itself through those twinkly eyes and gentle smile. She laughed with her whole being infecting us all with the humor of her unique “take” on things. Aunt Mary never lost her loving nature and acceptance of others. She will be missed, but the beauty of her spirit will be with us always.

Mary was a wonderful, caring person. We will certainly miss her delicious pizzelles, expertise at games and puzzles, and her pure delight at commercials with cute puppies. Above all, we will miss her great sense of humor, and tremendous love for her family and friends. Our thoughts, prayers and sympathies are with everyone who appreciates the tremendous loss of Mary’s passing.

I was shocked and heart broken by the news. I couldn’t believe Mary left me so suddenly! I was hoping to see her in the spring. Mary was like my mom. I even told her that she was even better than my mom. She was a very bright, generous, brave person. I learned a lot from her. I will never forget her sense of humor. I can’t stop crying when I think of her. I miss her very much. Mary will life in my heart for the rest of my life. Mary, if you can hear me, I want to say that I love you!

She was my favorite aunt and my Godmother and I have many great memories of good times growing up and spent in her company and of Uncle Vince. I’ll miss her sense of humor and her kindness to me over the years. She was a classy lady.
