Aunt Mary was always nice to me, my mom and sisters. I just wanted to express my deepest sympathy to the family. I especially remember the trip she and Uncle Gerald and I took on Thanksgiving years ago to visit my dad (Mike) at the VA hospital is Ann Arbor after he had his lung removed. Although he could not talk to us due to all the tubes in him the look of thanks in his eyes for coming to see him was very obvious. I so appreciated them spending the holiday with me traveling to Ann Arbor to see my dad. I also enjoyed listening to their stories of my dad from when he was growing up. They were new ones I had not heard previously. She was quite generous in allowing me to have the family dinner at their home following my dad's funeral which I really appreciated. I will miss her.
