Aunt Mary, you know I'm waiting on my phone call following the busy week of Christmas--used to be a really long letter telling me all about your children and grandchildren, but we both decided phone calls were easier and BETTER!!!! I will truly miss you and have always so admired your abilities that you've shared with so many of us, the quilting, the cooking, the fun bridge games, but also feeling that you so sincerely cared about all of us! Thank you for the gift of your four beautiful boys!! Talking to Joe on the phone was just like a visit with Uncle A.H. You will be sorely missed!! Love to all, Kerry

What a fine and loving lady she was. I am so happy that we got to see her last year, a gracious, fun and charming hostess as always. She will be brought to mind with great love as I use the beautiful lap quilt she made me, it is on my "reading chair", with her initials in the corner. I am very saddened to think I will never see her again (in this life!) or cannot pick up the phone and have an interesting chat and a few laughs. Love to you all. Be sure you look at Mary the Beautiful Bridesmaid on Richard's You Tube of his parents wedding. I see he sent you the link. Love to you all, please keep in touch. Susan

We're so sorry. There is a film clip with a 20 year old Mary Wiliams on YouTube. Search "Williams Greenhaw wedding 1946".

Cousins,
It pained me deeply to learn that we had lost your mother and my dearest aunt. So many wonderful memories of her have crossed my mind the past several days. I always looked forward to stopping in and visiting with her on trips back to the home place. One of my most treasured possessions is a quilt that she made and gave to me years ago.
Your loss was my loss as well. Aunt Mary will be missed.

Joe, Andy, Charles and Jerry,
It was so heartbreaking to hear about Aunt Mary's stroke and death! I had talked to her on the phone only a few days before the stroke. Aunt Mary and Mama were very close! Maybe now they can spend some time together again. I will miss Aunt Mary very much and send my sympathy to all of her boys!
