While I did not know Mary other than a “hell-o” now and then, Marguerite did. She knew Mary from the Hallmark Store. We know Mary had been ill for some time. And we ask our Lord to give her peace and comfort now and forever. Amen
May God give her peace and comfort. Amen
Dear Zilla Family,
My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.
May God give you strength and comfort in the days ahead.

Mary Alice will forever be in my heart holding fond memories. I will never forget the days living on 45th street growing up with Mary Alice, my sister Chris, and the rest of the girls. One particular memory is Mary Alice calling my name from the back porch to “get home” because it was Chris’ turn to go out and I was to stay home with my younger sisters. I would take my time strolling home (of course not wanting to come home) and Mary Alice would tell me how much of a “brat” I was and the next time she and the girls were going to find me and I would never be late again.
Mary Alice will be greatly missed. She is finally at peace (with her brother, Bernie and parents) and she will a guardian angel to all her family and dear friends. Our thoughts and prayers are with you, Tom and the family. May fond memories ease your loss.
Mary Alice and I have been together since we were 6 yrs old. That will never change. We will always be together in my heart.
Prayer & Love to her family who she
loved so much.
