  1. The extended side of the family that I didn’t get to know very well, but when I was with Grandma Sharon, she would re-introduce me when at family functions. I am so sorry for your loss and know you have comfort in knowing you will see Mary again one day.

  2. So sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with all the family at this sad time.

    I found news of Mary’s passing, and this obituary, whilst researching my family tree, Sinclair/Connor on my mother’s side. Mary and I would have been 3rd cousins, although we never met. I have traced many of the links between here in Scotland and the USA.

    Take care.

She will be greatly missed, but has also left quite an amazing legacy in which she lives after death (including countless, wonderful personal memories that continue to light up my days). All the best in your new adventures, Aunt Mary, and deepest condolences & support & love for all my Colorado kin.

She loved all her babies with her whole heart. She was the heart of our family. I will miss her every minute of every day. Her being gone leaves a huge hole in our lives and hearts. It brings me peace knowing my Papa met her at the pearly gates and that she is home in Heaven with Jesus and him for eternity. Rest with the Angels Grandma! I love you forever, always.
