When I think of Mary I see her, with her cat on her lap, riding her tricycle on her front sidewalk with her brother Stepehn watching from his cot on the front porch.Aunt Ora and Uncle Ted were so blessed to have Mary after their son Don died. After Stephen died, she was such a great comfort to them even as young as she was..She seemed to know how great their lost was and now great the joy she brought to them. She was kind, loving and cared about others from her childhood until her death..Oh dear sweet Mary how hard she fought to live and how much we did not want to lose her.. I will miss her and I loved her....Lynne

Dear Ricks Family,
I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. You have been in my thoughts and prayers. I have many fond memories of being in your home and loved Mary's cooking!!! In fact I think whenever Kathy would tell me her mom was fixing homemade pizza for dinner, I would invite myself!! I'd say, "Kathy, ask your mom if I can come over for dinner!" Haha...I loved her homemade pizza among many other things! What a blessing it is to have the Gospel of Jesus Christ in our lives. What a wonderful reunion she's having on the other side! May you continue to feel the love and comfort of our Savior and Father in Heaven during this time in your lives and the days to come. I'm grateful for your friendship and the memories I have with your sweet family! I love you all!

Over the past month, my thoughts have often turned to Mary, each of you, and your families. My heart has been full of sympathy and of sadness because I knew Aunt Mary only had a short time left on earth. My heart mourns the loss of such a wonderful aunt, mother, wife, grandma, and friend. Although I am filled with sadness right now, I am grateful to have so many wonderful memories to treasure of Aunt Mary. We had so many good times with your family over our growing up years. I have so many fond memories of family reunions, 50-mile hikes, holiday gatherings, mission farewells and homecomings. You all were a big part of my life! I am truly saddened that Eric and I and the kids will not be able to make it to the funeral. The distance is just too much. But, I wanted to let you know that I will be with you in spirit. Aunt Mary was a wonderful loving woman and will be greatly missed. I loved her, and I love each of you. My thoughts and prayers are with you. We will make a donation to the LDS Humanitarian Fund in lieu of flowers. Love, Rozanne, Eric, and family

What a privilege it was to serve with you and Mary in the Idaho Pocatello Mission. We dearly love both of you and appreciated the opportunity we had to feel of Mary's wonderful Spirit. She is truly an example to us and we think of the courage and strength she had through the many days of not feeling well. Her wonderful smile brightened our days and she reminded us to "not murmur." We pray for you, Larry and know you will find peace and comfort through the Holy Ghost.

Dear Family,
I am so sorry for your loss. I wish I could be there in person, but I am in Texas with my family.
Mary was my dear friend and I am so thankful we spent some time together a few weeks ago. I always admired her and appreciated her friendship. She was a lovely lady.
The Gospel is so important in our lives. I send my love to all of you. Carolyn Rawson,
