Mary, Mary - quite contrary...

How does your garden grow? Grandma Mary (Super M, MaMary, Mama) sowed seeds of faith, love, and knowledge into all those who met her. And though she is in a much better place, what she left behind is the stuff of life that no one can take away from you. 

She loved the Lord and was at such a peace with life and death that it was strong testament to her faith. She believed in the power of education - not only her own, but in teaching others. Mary's great sense of humor makes me smile just at the thought of her laugh. She took with her an undying love for her daughter, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and all of us who were fortunate enough to have married into her expansive family. 

Mary, give Sammie kisses from all of us and know that your garden will continue to grow...
