    To Fred, Scott and Mary, my heart aches for the loss of your mother. You should find solace in the joy she has given to so many lives she touched with that beautiful smile of hers. I know I will never forget her! I’m sure that sentiment will be on a lot of people’s minds when thinking of her.

    Throughout this week knowing you have passed ….I have thought of your laugh!! So often as with the loss of my mom ( Viola Carter) Aunty Alice and Uncle Buddy, it feels like you are standing right beside me. Amazing ! Aunty Mary!! I know you missed your mom Grammy Holmes. I pray that all your Spirits have found each other and can offer all us cousins some insight into the hereafter. By the way…yesterday I found my first penny from Heaven. I am not sure which one of you helped me find my car keys that slipped out of my pocket at the DUIMP!!! But THANK YOU!!!

    My heart just broke! I am so very sorry to hear of your loss! I hope you all know how much Aunt Mary meant to my whole family! I wish you all peace and strength! Uncle Fred, I was so glad to have had a chance to bring my mom by to visit with you both. Your wife was a beautiful woman and the world was truly blessed by her presence!
    With all my love to you all!
