Lauren and families, our since sympathy for your loss,
Dear mom,
Words can’t even begin to express how much I miss you. I will always cherish my nightly phone calls and all the times we’ve spent together. You were truly my best friend and my biggest cheerleader. I would have never become a teacher if it wasn’t for you always pushing me and telling me I can do it. I will forever be grateful for all the times we went shopping and I “pretended” not to have any money so you would buy me stuff. Those are the best memories and I will never ever forget how perfect you are. I hope you can finally relax and please watch over me. Even though you are not physically here I still need you around. I can’t wait to see a ladybug and know you are with me. I love you more than you will ever know.
Love always, your daughter and best friend ❤️
Mary aka Ballsanna
You were more of a friend to me than a sister in law. We had done great times during our earlier years. Never to be forgotten. I will miss you always and remember all the good and not so good times. Keep watching over us; as we will pray for you.
Love
Toni
You were a blessing of a spirit~. May you rest peacefully amongst our spirits from the heavens above. Solely(?), missed. +, luv Tara Jaruse.
Dean and I are so sorry for your loss. We are sending hugs and love to you and all in your family.
Rest easy Auntie Mary, you’ll certainly be missed. So many memories that I will keep close to my heart. Hope you have your listening ears on, I’m sure my dad has a list of items to go over with you (hah). All seriousness, I heard once that when someone passes on, they are not really gone, they are just in the next room. I know that room is filled with loved ones, loved ones that welcomed you home. Love you always, until we meet again…
Lauren and Family,
My deepest condolences. The HairWorld will deeply miss her. Mary was such an amazing person. I loved all the conversations I’ve had with her and she was so proud of you and the family. I’m at a loss for words.
Love, Danielle
