To all her family and friends, Mary was so sweet to Mom and II did a lot of craft shows with her but, she has also been our family as well. My aunt and uncle were Norma and Bob Rosetto. I have hated for her to go through her illness. She always had a sweet smile and attitude. We just want to send our deepest condolences to you and your family at this terrible time. God Bless you all!!! Sincerely, Wanda and Debbie Babb.
She has fought a tough battle, but now is at Peace. I saw Mary at many craft shows over the years and enjoyed her handiwork so much. Wonder if they need potholders in Heaven? If so, she will be busy there. My condolences to all the family at this difficult time. God Bless Us All. Sue Hale, Decatur, IL
