Mary was the pillar that held her family together. She gave joy and happiness to everyone. She included my husband and I into her large family with all the love she had to give. She has now gone to a better place to join all the loved ones that she had lost and will now take care of them as that is what she has always done, taken care of other people. She will be smiling down on all of us now and we will be keeping her in our hearts forever. Love you Grandma Fray may you rest in peace.
