Laurie Sweet Relation to Deceased: Friend of a Friend…. I didn’t know Mary very well or for ver long, but from the very first day I met her she made me laugh. We were at a wedding and we had a great time. Then I would bump into her at Wegmans or at the MOS Festival every June and we would have a few drinks and laughs in the wine/beer tent!!! I am sad that I will never be able to laugh with Mary again. She was the sweetest and kindest person, that everyone seemed to love. I hope you are at peace.

Genny R. Johnson Relation to Deceased: sister To my beautiful sister Mary You were a beautiful person both inside and out. You were always very thoughtful, kind and the first one to help others. You will be sincerely missed. I have many, many memories through the years, when you would make me smile, laugh and even cry. When I think of you I will remember all the good times, the songs, concerts (Bob Seger) , and especially the personal gifts you always made for everyone. The most memorable times will be your hand gestures and facial expressions you made when trying to get your point across. LOL LOL I know in my heart it will bring a smile to my face, make me laugh and bring a tear or two to my eyes. But it’s okay, Good Bye my Sister/Friend, you can go now I’m okay. forever in my heart love and miss you, Genny The celebration of life, shared in the beginning, and again, in the end. Yet we forget to celebrate it, in every moment we live. Time, days, years, go on, but are we alive? Alive and do not know it, sleeping in the world and dead to the life we are to live. To celebrate all life, the sparrow who sang in the morning, and died in the night, why do we not celebrate its life? To know thyself is to know you are alive – to give, to love, to seek truth, beauty, and suffer pain. In life as it is meant to be, pain is forgotten, and strength is all that’s left to be gained in the moment by moment celebration of life. By Deborah Peabody
