Dear Mary,

My thoughts and prayers are with you now and forever.

 I always have bragged to my friends that if my nieces and nephews were jewels, well then I would have the worlds most beautiful gems,  ever!

Of course I also brag about how awesome it is to have such a cute niece, like you ……..

But then I do remind myself that all my nieces take after me …… tee hee!

You have always been such an inspiration to me ……

Strong, Smart, Loving, Kind, Generous, Perfect Mom ….. oh yeah the list could go on and on and on…..

We all have an unsuspected reserve of strength inside that emerges when life puts us to the test …… and this is just another test …..

You are one of the strongest people I know!

Yet, loving and passionate about the people in your life!

And I know, nothing will keep you down for long, sweetie ….. oh no, you are too strong for that!

So girl,

Stay Classy, Sassy And A Bit Bad Assy !!

Get well soon,

Love from Texas

Auntie Rosemary and Riley too!
