Thank You For the kind words. I know aunt Mary really missed Marie ( Your Mom) and the times they went out together to shop and eat. She got to stay in my home to the end under Hospice and that meant alot to her. I remember as a little girl, playing in the trees between your parent's and Aunt Mary and Uncle Lou's house. I have alot of fond memories of the two of them and I will MISS them terribly.

Thank You
Caln was always her fondest memory. She lived there her whole life and thought there was no greater place on earth.. She was the Angel lady of the neighborhood in her later years and she truly was MY Angel and I am lost without her..!!

I was so sorry to hear about Mary she was a terrific boss and a good friend. We have kept in touch yearly with Christmas cards but I alway thought there would be time to see her again. She had a great sense of humor and no matter how much she grumbled about Lou, she loved him with all her heart, she will be missed.

Dear Family,

I was so surprised to hear about Mary and even that she had moved to the South. I worked for Mary for many years at Leamans. She was a Mentor and a friend. She will always be a part of my heart and she shaped me in many ways with good work ethics and I learned not to take any crap from men that are tough on women. I will always keep her in my heart.
I am sorry for your loss, there will never be another Mary Cleary.
God Bless

I agree she was ONE of a Kind.. She was a GREAT Aunt and MENTOR to me also. And I am the woman I am today because of her shaping and molding me along the way. I hear what your saying about the " MEN" as she instilled that into me also. She missed Caln but enjoyed the warm weather here. The best part was she got to be with me in my home to the end.. I know she considered you a Close friend also My house feels so empty without her presence but my children got to know the wonderful person that she was..!!
