To Mary's Family:

I only knew Mary for about 5 years, but from the
moment I met her, I thought she was one of the
most wonderful people I had known. It seemed she
was like family. I am crying as I write this just
thinking of her and how you all will miss her. You
were so lucky to have her and there will not be a
day you won't think of her and you will be sad, but
also think of the wonderful memories you will have
of her all your lives. I feel like you all are my family
now and I hurt for you. I will pray for you to be
strong through these tough times.

With Love and Prayers,
Edna Carr

For Mary Santistevan family

I will always remember Mary as my “Tia Mary”, from
afternoon picnics in her back yard with my parents
when I was a little girl, and playing “Pokeno” with
her at Barlo and Carol’s. She always was a very
beautiful person, and always will be, years to come,
when I remember her… My thoughts and prayers
are with all the family at this time.

Dear Tio Ben and Family,

I am sorry that I could not attend the funeral.  I was
unaware that Tia Mary had been ill or that she had
passed away until Fred told me.  
I remember Tia Mary always being so cheerful.  Her
beautiful smile always made me feel comfortable
despite my own awkard shyness.  
I know that the pain of your loss is great, but I pray
that you are comforted to have been loved and
shared your life with such a wonderful person.

Love and God bless,

Your niece and cousin
Olivia Romo Vozza

Today, February 25, 2008 I learned of this website
so wanted to share that I only knew Mary for such a
brief time and believe the way we met was not
accidental but planned by God.  She will forever
remain in my memory as a special lady on whom the
Spirit of God rested and from whom His loved
flowed out to touch those around her.

Thank you Mary for being you.

My thoughts are still with the family and especially
on this day which brings added sorrow.  My prayers
rise on wings of love to God above for that peace
which only He can give.  God Bless the
Santistevans.

Your Friend
