Nancy and kids I am so sorry for you loss. While thinking about Aunt Mary I can hear her laugh and see her smile! That Clark smile is infamous! Know that I love you all and am praying for you. May God comfort you at this time!
Sincerely, Carol
Nancy, I was so very saddened to hear of Aunt Mary's passing. My thoughts and prayers are with you. I am making plans to take off work so we can be there for her funeral. Take care Much Love Cousin Connie
Nancy and Children, I felt something might be wrong with Mary when I didn't get my annual Christmas card from her. We enjoyed writing back and forth at Christmas. Mary was an absolute wonderful lady, who had so much love to offer, to anyone who needed it. I fondly remember many nights spent at the Catron house with Nancy when I was young. She and Harlan were the best
Hostesses. Nancy you truly had wonderful parents. I always thought you were so lucky. I was one of 5 children and when I came to your house I always felt "special" and loved by your Mom. I know she must have been an awesome Grandmother. Glad some of the kids were living with her at the end. I hope she didn't have to suffer, when she passed. Nancy you were so important to your
Mother. She wanted the best for you, always. I wish I lived closer, I would be at the funeral to pay my last respects. I am there in my heart, today. Keep her memory ALIVE. She was such a vibrant lady.

I remember all the fun times we had on visits, family reunions, & even some weddings. She was a very sweet lady who was there when I lost my grandpa back on August 8,2009. She came to the viewing, with Nancy to pay their respects. Now it's my turn to do so. I know it's hard for us right now to deal with this saddness, but we can remember the memories, that she isn't suffering
anymore, & she's now in Heaven. I pray that God will help us all during this sad time of our lives. I'll miss my Great-Aunt Mary who was my Grandma Troxell's sister( who'll be gone for 22 years as of March 30). We know that Mary's in the celebration with God & other family members, & that should help us too!

Thinking of you with deepest sympathy for your loss.
