My sweet Mary… I just did a random search hoping not to see this. I hadn’t heard from her which was out of the ordinary. Mary was a bright light of love, warmth, and laughter. I used to instruct water aerobics and she would be one of the first ladies there. She would tell me stories and I would be in tears laughing. On my last day at work, she took my hands and sang a beautiful song to me. It made me cry. We kept in touch as I moved across the states and she would always share another story with me, a the while, keeping her incredible sense of humor. I know she missed a lot of people and she is most likely very happy to see them all again… however, this world lost some shimmer the day Mary left us. Oh, how I will miss her letters. xoxoxoxoxo To any family members reading this… She was special. May God Bless you.
To the Wallace Family,
So sorry to learn about Mrs. Wallace.
Please know that your family are in our thoughts and prayers during this very difficult time.
With deepest sympathy,

Dear Terry, Bob and Mike — We are saddened to hear of Aunt Mary’s passing. We have such fond memories of her and will miss her ornery e-mails. We are sending loving thoughts and prayers to all of you. Peace be with Aunt Mary and all of you.
Terry, Bob and Mike,My thoughts and prayers to each of you and your families. I have many fond memories of both your parents when you lived at Merrits Row. I was going through a box of letters and found several that Mike had written Ron when he was in the Air Force.They were all about Terry and his football days. Brought an instant smile to my face.Carry on guys you had great role models. Sandy
Never really knew Flo very well until my sister Tish got sick she would come to the house and sit next to her bed with Tish every day. My sister loved her like a mother and Tish would talk about her all the time. She was a special lady glad I got to have known her. Prayers for her family
So sorry for your loss, prayers to the whole family
Will miss you Mary and all of the ladies of Merrits Row that called this place home. May you rest in peace while you are reunited with so many people that loved you.
